Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) announced today that the real estate services firm has been recognized as a Top 10 Military Friendly Employer for the fifth consecutive year.
As the nation celebrates America's 250th anniversary, the firm continues expanding opportunities for veterans transitioning to civilian careers, with a particular focus on skilled trades and technical professions.
“As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, we're reminded that the country's strength has always depended on people willing to serve something larger than themselves,” said Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage. “Veterans leave the military with experience leading teams, solving problems under pressure and taking responsibility when the stakes are high. Those qualities are increasingly difficult to find and impossible to teach overnight. Creating opportunities for veterans isn't simply a way to honor their service. It's an investment in the future workforce and leadership of this country.”
Cushman & Wakefield employs more than 1,400 veterans across its U.S. operations and has plans to hire an additional 500 veterans this year. Through its Military & Veterans Programs, the firm provides recruitment, mentorship and career-transition support, including participation in the Department of War’s SkillBridge program and military spouse employment initiatives.
CWK shares eased five cents to $13.84.
