December 05 2016 - 2:00PM
Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:CAR) announced today that it has
earned the 2017 Military Friendly® Employer designation from
Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse.
“Support for our military is part of the very fabric of our
company,” said Larry De Shon, chief executive officer, Avis Budget
Group. “Our founder, Warren Avis, was a fighter pilot with the Army
Air Corps during World War II, and we proudly continue to emphasize
the recruitment and employment of military talent. We are honored
to be recognized for our efforts.”
Companies competing for the elite Military Friendly Employer
designation were evaluated using both public data sources and
responses from Victory Media’s proprietary survey. As an honoree,
Avis Budget Group will be showcased, along with other 2017 Military
Friendly Employers, in the December edition of G.I. Jobs magazine
and online at MilitaryFriendly.com.
“Companies that have earned the 2017 Military Friendly Employer
designation have exceptionally strong hiring programs and
meaningful jobs for transitioning service members, veterans and
spouses,” said Daniel Nichols, a Navy Reserve veteran and chief
product officer at Victory Media. “Our Military Friendly Employers
have moved beyond answering ‘why hire military?’ They are truly
aligning their jobs and recruiting efforts with Military Friendly
schools to translate military competencies into civilian
careers.”
