WELCOME TO THE HELENA SOCIETY OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The most valued and accessible HR resource for continuing education and knowledge in the Helena community.
Rebecca Bruno, Talent Acquisition Specialist, Montana Department of Corrections, will discuss what you can do to support our veterans and become a certified veteran-friendly employer.
Rebecca will provide a 1-hour presentation on how your agency can become part of a newly established Montana Joining Community Forces network!
Currently, any Employer or Veteran Business Owner can deem themselves a “Veteran Friendly Employer” and there is no tracked network of Employers or Veteran Business Owners to help connect our Service Members, Veterans and Spouse (SMVS) to opportunities in the workforce.
The JCF Employer Support Network, consisting of Employers and Veteran Owned Businesses, who have taking initiative and training to be certified veteran friendly employers who are committed to successfully recruiting, training, employing and retaining Montana SMVS by networking posting positions and networking with job seeking SMVS as well as gaining access to comprehensive programs/resources offered through Montana JCF and its Career Key Service Area stakeholders.
We believe that the Employer Support Project will assist in anticipated workforce shortage needs across the state specifically by leveraging the employment training programs and SMVS talent pool that exists in the state and those from outside of Montana considering calling Montana home after Active Duty Military Service.
