Military Matters: Group helps veterans find better-paying jobs

Victory Trade Alliance connects members of the military connect with opportunity

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A Yuma group is helping members of the military improve their lives by helping them land better jobs.

Victory Trade Alliance (VTA) assists both veterans and active-duty service members by introducing them to higher-paying trades. It works with industry leaders in three key trades: mechanical, electrical, and plumbing.

Vets simply select a preferred profession, and VTA connects them with a company that's willing to both train and hire them. The organization's president, Chaunte Hall, says, it's a win-win for both the employer and the future employee.

"Organizations and companies benefit greatly from hiring veterans in an increasingly global competitive environment. America's economic strength and stability depends on a highly-skilled and vibrant workforce. That is what organizations and companies get when they bring on veterans." said Hall.
