Looking for Military Veterans with Mass Transportation Experience to Help Recruit the Next Generatio

Posted October 2015

The Transportation Learning Center is now involved in two projects that address veterans’ re-entry into the civilian workforce and unemployment issues. We need to establish a veterans task force to address these issues within the public transportation industry.  This task is specifically linked to the project recently selected by the Federal Transit Administration to continue the Signals Consortium. We are in need of nominations for the veterans task force and necessarily must rely on all of you to help us find the right people. You may also nominate yourself if interested in participating. Nominations should include the name, contact information, military branch served in, military technical training and job, current employer and position. Please send nominations to Mark Dysart (mdysart@transportcenter.org). Recently separated veterans with prior training on sophisticated equipment and personal experience with transitioning into the civilian workforce are particularly needed. We put a particular emphasis on women veterans since their unemployment rate exceeds the general population and that of male veterans.  Women also remain chronically under-represented in transit technical careers.
