US ARMY AND HALLIBURTON PARTNER TO PROVIDE JOB OPPORTUNITIES TO QUALIFIED SOLDIERS
FORT KNOX, Kentucky - The U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) and Halliburton Company recently signed an agreement that will provide priority hiring status to qualified soldiers participating in the Partnership for Youth Success Program (PaYS).
PaYS, a strategic partnership program between the Army and major U.S. companies, helps the Army to attract and train talented young people and guarantees participating businesses a consistent, dedicated flow of skilled and responsible job candidates, according to Major General Dennis D. Cavin, commander, U.S. Army Recruiting Command.
Major General Cavin signed the agreement along with Halliburton’s Vice President of Human Resources Margaret Carriere.
"We are excited about our new partnership and Halliburton's commitment to today's youth who serve in the Army," said Cavin. "Soldiers know as they leave the Army, after completing a two, three, or four-year enlistment, that there is a Fortune 500 company with job diversity and international reach offering fantastic employment opportunities for them."
Under terms of the agreement, young enlistees interested in gaining specific job training and qualifications commensurate with opportunities at Halliburton will receive that training while in the Army. As part of the enlistment process, recruits sign a letter of intent to work for Halliburton upon completion of their term of service. As the end of their term approaches, the soldiers then have the opportunity to interview with Halliburton for a specific job at a specific location.
"In a program such as this one everybody wins," said Carriere. "Young people who may not have the resources to go to college receive training and skills; the Army receives enlistees ready to serve our country; and U.S. companies such as Halliburton receive access to a pool of well-trained and experienced talent. We are very excited to be a part of this program."
Halliburton Company, founded in 1919, is the world's largest provider of products and services to the petroleum and energy industries. The company serves its customers with a broad range of products and services through its Energy Services Group and Engineering and Construction Group business segments.
