"Hire the Vet": Halcyon Trains in IT

My Company, Halcyon Solutions, is seeking help from Dublin AM Rotarians to find IT jobs for the recently graduated class of military veterans. Halcyon has been training military Veterans free of cost in IT (software testing) for the past two years, and helping them get jobs.  Halcyon has about a 70% success rate finding jobs for these Veterans. We train about 5-10 Veterans in each batch. Our current class, which started on September 23, 2013, graduated on Fri., Nov 1st, and we are looking for jobs for them.

Some of the veterans from this class are willing to relocate outside Columbus. You can find downloadable resumes for all our trained veterans.

Halcyon wishes that more Employers can partner with us, to help veterans by giving them jobs after the training. Halcyon is also planning to providing customized training in non-IT skills, such as Customer Support, Help Desk, Call Centers, etc., in order to reach out to more veterans.

Please help us and the veterans by referring veterans to us, so we can consider them for our future IT training classes. Also, please introduce employers in your area to Halcyon and our vets, so that they can partner to provide jobs to our trained Veterans.
