Hiring Military Veterans
For more than 10 years, Challenge Factory has been working to close the gap between employers and the hidden talent pool of Canada’s military Veterans. Through our research, consulting, and training, we raise awareness about the benefits of hiring Veterans, give employers tools that will make hiring easier, and draw on Veterans’ knowledge to make sure we get it right.
