Global Ground Support has founded an industry group to support military veterans working in or transitioning into the GSE sector.
Veterans of GSE will connect personnel from all branches of military service to “build a strong and supportive professional network”, said Global Ground Support.
The company added that the group will promote veteran hiring and transition throughout the GSE sector.
According to Global Ground Support: “As the first initiative of its kind in the sector, Veterans of GSE seeks to honour the invaluable experience of service members while creating opportunities for
mentorship, career advancement and community engagement.”
Tyler Stimac, vice president of contracts and legal administration, himself a veteran of the US Marine Corps, said: “Veterans bring unmatched skills, leadership and dedication to the workforce.
“With Veterans of GSE, we’re not only recognising that value, but actively working to support their transition, empower their careers and build camaraderie across the industry.”
Key goals of Veterans of GSE
- Building a strong community for veterans within the GSE sector to share knowledge, experiences and professional connections
- Raising awareness across the industry about the benefits of employing veterans and the importance of supporting them in meaningful careers
- Promoting veteran hiring and career transitions, with developing resources and guidance for service members entering the civilian workforce
- Honouring military service by celebrating the unique strengths veterans bring to the industry
- Serving as a central platform to advocate for policies and programmes that prioritise veteran recruitment and retention within the industry
The group will host regular networking events, provide mentorship and job-seeking resources and collaborate with industry partners to expand hiring initiatives and recognition programmes.
Global Ground Support invites all GSE companies, professionals and veterans to join and support the Veterans of GSE initiative.
“Together, the industry can pave the way for a stronger, more inclusive future built on the foundation of service, leadership and mutual support,” said the company.
