McLEAN, Va. -

The National Automobile Dealers Association is partnering with the Hiring Our Heroes program sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to help military veterans find meaningful employment.

NADA highlighted the Hiring Our Heroes program will work with the vast network of franchised dealerships around the country, as well as the state and metro dealer associations, all in an effort to assist veterans and their spouses find employment in communities across America.

“We are proud to partner with Hiring Our Heroes and will do our part to help raise awareness of the training and skills that veteran employees contribute to the civilian workforce,” NADA president Peter Welch said.

“With our participation in this program, we hope we can help America's veterans get back to work and reduce the high unemployment rate they are facing,” Welch continued.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce currently works with its state and local chambers and other strategic partners from the public, private and nonprofit sectors.

Hiring Our Heroes and its partners have hosted 600 job fairs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Through these employment fairs, officials indicated 20,200 men and women have obtained jobs and more than 1,200 businesses have hired veterans and their spouses.
