Werner Enterprises (NASDAQ:WERN), a premier transportation and
logistics provider, is pleased to announce its 25,000th
veteran/veteran spouse hire.
Ronald Stewart, from Jacksonville Beach, Florida,
is Werner’s 25,000th veteran/veteran spouse hire since April 2006,
when the company partnered with the Department of
Labor and the Department of Veterans Affairs to
start the industry's first Professional Truck
Driver Apprenticeship Program. Stewart is a 12-year Army
veteran who graduated from Roadmaster Drivers School in September
2016.
“We are very honored to have a strong veteran and
veteran spouse workforce at Werner Enterprises and we appreciate
the opportunity to support those who have dedicated themselves to
serving our country,” said Associate Vice President of Student and
Government Recruiting Jim Morbach.
As a military friendly employer, Werner has pledged
to hire 2,000 veterans and 200 veteran spouses in 2016. More than
5,000 veterans have enrolled in Werner’s apprenticeship program,
which allows veteran enrollees to use their GI Bill education
benefits to invest in a future with Werner.
