Episode 32: Veteran Hiring with Ret. Lt. Col Kathy Lowery Gallowitz
- Veterans face a number of challenges when re-entering the workforce after serving in the military, so making an effort to consciously employ veterans is a great way to thank them for their service. Businesses benefit greatly from hiring a veteran because of the knowledge and skills they acquired while serving in the military. Since hiring has been a popular issue since the pandemic, there appears to be a population of motivated workers who are not getting the attention they deserve, and that group includes our transitioning men and women of our armed forces.
This episode features Retired Lt. Col Kathy Lowery Gallowitz, Author and Founder of Vanguard Veterans. After serving nearly 30 years in the Air Force as a nurse and public affairs officer, she continues to equip civilian employers on how to source, recruit, and retain veteran talent through her business Vanguard Veteran. She is also the author of “Beyond ‘Thank You for your Service,’: The Veteran Champion Handbook for civilians.”
Her life’s work has led her to be a champion for all service members transitioning into civilian life and has been a great resource to the veteran community.
