At NPMA Legislative Day, Elizabeth Bicer, director of workforce development, National Pest Management Association, shared what skills military veterans can bring to the table that would translate well as pest management professionals, and how the NPMA Military Hiring Program can help business owners get in front of military personnel.
PCT’s June cover story focuses on military employee recruitment efforts in the pest control industry.
Bicer works to educate nonmilitary business leaders on how to recruit and hire military personnel through NPMA's Military Hiring program, which includes a partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program.
The role Bicer plays in the recruitment process is providing each service member who, through the Skill-Bridge website, expresses an interest in pest management with a list of participating companies in the location(s) they specify. Read the full cover story here.Latest from Pest Control Technology
