Did you know? Each year, approximately 200,000 men and women leave U.S. military Service and return to life as civilians -- and as veterans. The Department of Defense's SkillBridge program allows partnering companies like Kleinfelder to provide opportunities to transitioning Service members so they can successfully enter the civilian job market. On Veterans Day, we are proud to highlight one of our current SkillBridge interns, Madalyn Lucas, who served as Loadmaster for the Air Force and is now working with our Human Resources team. “Through the SkillBridge program at Kleinfelder, I have been given the opportunity to develop my professional skills, gain knowledge, and create a new career path in Human Resources,” she says. “I have captured a unique perspective in the corporate world and feel confident in my abilities as I transition into civilian life.” Thank you, Mady, and thank you to all of our veterans!
