September 1, 2007: Helmets to Hardhats

Going from the battlefield to the business world is something most veterans have to do at some point. Veterans Radio explores several different job and business opportunities for veterans. Our guests include Anne St.Elio of the United Associates Union Program “Helmets to Hardhats,” which they say is the fastest way for military, reservists, and Guardsmen to transition from active duty to a career on the construction industry. Bill Elmore, Associate Administrator, Office of Veterans Business Development, talks about the Small Business Administration’s new Patriot Express Program and Rebecca David, Regional Account Manager, from The CIT Small Business Lending Corporation (a unit of CIT Group Inc) talks about their program.
