U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Jovian Concepts, Inc., as one of the 859 recipients of the 2023 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by the U.S. Department of Labor on November 8th.

We're very proud to recruit, hire, and retain veterans and are humbled to again be recognized for our efforts by the U.S. Department of Labor."

Jovian Concepts joins 858 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service. Recipients of the 2023 HIRE Vets Medallion Award meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans.

More than 1,600 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2018.
