Today, during a ceremony hosted by the U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Provalus as a recipient of the 2024 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award. With this award, Provalus joins an elite group of organizations from across the country that are dedicated not only to hiring veterans but helping them build meaningful careers that capitalize on the valuable skills they developed in military service.

“The adaptability, problem-solving, and leadership skills I gained while flying for the Air Force are what I rely on every day in my role at Provalus,” said Provalus Vice President of Customer Experience, Rich Albanese. “It’s fulfilling to work for a company that recognizes the strength veterans bring and offers a platform where we can continue to make a difference.”

Provalus Director of Talent Acquisition, Kate Scraper added, “Hiring veterans is more than just a good practice—it’s a key to unlocking the full potential of our workforce. The precision, teamwork, and innovation veterans bring are unmatched. We are dedicated to actively recruiting and retaining veterans who can contribute meaningfully to our success.”

The HIRE Vets Medallion Program, established by the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act, is the only federal award recognizing employers that go above and beyond in recruiting, hiring, and supporting veterans. To earn a HIRE Vets Medallion, recipients must meet rigorous standards for veteran employment and integration, including benchmarks for hiring and retention, veteran-specific resources, leadership development, HR initiatives, pay, and other key factors. Provalus is proud to support the veteran community and is honored to receive this award.
