Hyster-Yale Materials Handling<\/a> announces its participation in the United States Department of Defense (DOD) SkillBridge program, offering training and career opportunities to service members and their spouses as they transition to civilian life.<\/p>\n

DOD SkillBridge connects service members in their final 180 days of service with companies that provide civilian work experience at no cost to the company while the service member continues receiving military compensation and benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur service members dedicate their lives to serving our country, and this program is our opportunity to reward that service while also adding skilled, dedicated talent to the Hyster-Yale<\/a> team and our dealer partners,\u201d says Anthony Salgado, Chief Operating Officer, Hyster-Yale Materials Handling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SkillBridge program provides hands-on experience that helps service members explore career interests and develop job skills in the private sector. As a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy, I know how important resources and support are to a successful transition to the civilian workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

SkillBridge enables Hyster-Yale<\/a> and its independently owned dealer partners to recruit and retain top-notch talent nationwide with a particular emphasis on the dealer network\u2019s initiative to hire skilled technicians. Specifically tailored for technician apprenticeships, this program immerses participants in targeted training that equips them with the necessary skills and expertise for a successful career in materials handling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to work with SkillBridge to give back to our military veterans for the bravery and sacrifices they\u2019ve made for all of us,\u201d says Troy Pederson, Director of Training & Development at LiftOne, a Hyster-Yale<\/a> dealer and established SkillBridge employer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last year, we\u2019ve helped 10 SkillBridge interns transition from military to civilian life, and the value and positive impact of the program can\u2019t be overstated. At LiftOne, we\u2019ve gained so much from the experience and diverse mix of technical and leadership skills of our SkillBridge candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n
