RYE, N.Y., Dec. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jarden Corporation today announced the initiation of Operation Careers for Veterans. As part of Jarden's ongoing support of our troops serving domestically and abroad, Operation Careers for Veterans will seek to identify, consider and hire qualified veterans. In addition to contacting military bases located near our domestic manufacturing facilities, Jarden is partnering with the military branches as well as "HireVetsFirst" (a veteran employment program administered by the One Stop Career Centers located in more than 3,500 cities across the nation) to carry out this initiative.
Operation Careers for Veterans will complement Jarden's other armed service-friendly policies, including providing reservists with equivalent full pay during their time of active duty and providing medical/dental benefits for their dependents while they serve in the military. Currently, approximately 5% of Jarden's domestic workforce is comprised of veterans of the United States military.
