U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Sigma Defense as one of the 839 recipients of the 2024 HIREVets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony on October 31^st.

They bring a focus on mission objectives and understanding of the battlefield environment that is coupled with an ability to perform under pressure and a level of adaptability that is truly unique. Receiving the HIREVets Medallion Award is a testament to our ongoing commitment to supporting veterans in their transition to civilian employment.”

The 2024 HIREVets Medallion Award recognizes companies that go beyond mere recruitment efforts, considering factors such as veteran hiring and retention percentages, the availability of veteran-specific resources, leadership programming for veterans, dedicated human resource initiatives, and comprehensive pay compensation and tuition assistance programs. In addition to veteran hiring and retention, Sigma Defense has dedicated recruiting efforts and employee resource groups to support veterans within the company and the community. We are proud to be joined by the 838 other companies that share our commitment to providing veterans with a clear path for professional growth and leveraging the diverse skills they gained through their military service.
