Transportation powerhouse XPO Logistics, Inc. has announced a partnership with the Hiring our Heroes Corporate Fellowship. The program places highly skilled veterans and military spouses with military-friendly civilian companies.
Hiring our Heroes, a US Chamber of Commerce Foundation program, helps bridge the civilian-military divide within the business community.
XPO’s inaugural fellowship class recently completed a 12-week training program. Three veteran graduates of the program started full-time roles with XPO: Earnest McGowen (US Army), Will Dodson (US Marines Corps) and Ahmad Garland (US Marines Corps).
Josephine Berisha, chief human resources officer for XPO Logistics, said, “We’re committed to diversity through our veteran recruitment, professional development and inclusive workplace policies. It’s a privilege to have these veterans join our team. They will add significant value to our culture with their varied experiences.”
XPO, which received a bronze designation on the Viqtory 2021 Military Friendly Employers list, has a sizable community of self-identified veterans.
