With more than 60,000 unemployed National Guard members nationally, this is a huge resource for employers looking for skilled, experienced and reliable employees. Take 10 minutes now to register for posting jobs at no cost at www.centerforamerica.org/register.html. Center for America is coordinating the alliance campaign.

Your job postings are plugged directly into the National Guard Employment Network, the flagship employment initiative of the National Guard. This is the most comprehensive database of National Guard members seeking employment. You can post jobs at no cost as openings arise throughout the year. Members of all military branches can view them in addition to the National Guard. Services to employers and military applicants are free of charge.

You can learn more about the campaign at www.CenterForAmerica.org.

Phillips 66 is the lead corporate sponsor of American Jobs for America’s Heroes."At Phillips 66, we know that the National Guard offers outstanding experience, skills and training, and its members and veterans make valuable employees," said Larry Ziemba, executive vice president, Refining, Projects and Procurement for Phillips 66 and chair of the AJAH campaign leadership council. "We encourage other companies to step up recruitment of National Guard members and participate in the Center for America’s efforts to connect these heroes with employers."

Lew Ebert, president and CEO of the North Carolina Chamber, said this about the campaign: "American Jobs for America’s Heroes is a win/win program. Small to mid-size employers looking for skilled employees now have an avenue to post job openings at no cost, and the more than 60,000 unemployed National Guard members, veterans and spouses have a well-organized place to match their skills with available jobs. The North Carolina Chamber wholeheartedly supports this effort to create jobs and encourages North Carolina businesses to post applicable open positions on the National Guard job portal."
