This November, join us in thanking military veterans around the United States who have fought and are actively fighting to keep us safe and free. Over 20 veterans are represented in CHELCO’s workforce across various departments, including engineering, IT, human resources and more.

Here are just a few of the best qualities they bring to our workforce:

Leadership Skills: Veterans have honed their leadership abilities in high-pressure situations. Their experience managing teams, making decisions and adapting to changing circumstances is invaluable in our dynamic work environment.

Work Ethic: Military service instills a strong work ethic, discipline and attention to detail. These qualities are essential for maintaining the standards we uphold in our day-to-day work.

Problem-Solving: Veterans are adept problem solvers, often facing complex challenges during their service. Their ability to think critically and find solutions is an asset to our evolving industry.

Teamwork: Collaboration is a fundamental aspect of military service. Veterans excel in working as part of a team, fostering a cooperative and productive work environment.

SkillBridge Program: The Department of Defense’s Skillbridge program allows departing military members to spend their last six months of service interning at approved companies to learn new skill sets that they can use in their civilian careers. CHELCO has been a proud program participant since 2019, hosting six interns.

Military veterans are an indispensable part of the CHELCO family, and we are proud to have them on our team.

To all who have served and those actively serving, thank you for your service. Happy Veterans Day.
