Medically Released
Veterans
At BaseToBusiness, we believe the right person for the job is the right person for the job. This can include transitioning members of the Forces who have a physical disability or a condition such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In collaboration with another Prospect program, Forces@WORK, we place veterans who have the skills required for a job, but who need supports to perform to their greatest potential. Check out the Forces@WORK website here.
Job Board
Many companies go from 'vet your next hire' to 'hire your next vet' in a very short time, once they experience the advantages of hiring a transitioning member or veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. Post your job ad here and see.
