Enable America Congratulates Clark Construction for Helping Veterans
On November 19, Clark Construction provided on-the-job employment mentoring to seven disabled military veterans, as part of a Disabled Veterans Employment Mentoring Month program held in conjunction with Enable America.
San Antonio, TX, November 25, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Enable America, a non-profit organization devoted to empowering people with disabilities to achieve independence through employment, is congratulating Clark Construction for providing employment mentoring to seven veterans in San Antonio, this month.
“Clark Construction believes as we do that the men and women who have sacrificed for our country cannot be forgotten during these challenging economic times,” said Richard Salem, founder and CEO of Enable America. “Employment mentoring is the first step in helping many people with valuable skills get back into the work force.”
In conjunction with Veterans Day, Enable America proclaimed November as “Disabled Veteran Employment Mentoring” Month. In providing on-the-job training to veterans in San Antonio, Clark becomes the first company in Texas to participate.
“Because of Clark, seven veterans were able to take advantage of an opportunity to get closer to their goal of landing a job and embarking on a life-long career,” said Steve LaBour, Enable America’s Executive Director. “Clark’s efforts renewed their faith that there are companies out there, with great employees, who do care about them and truly want to help. Enable America congratulates Clark on a job well done.”
Enable America is now making its mentoring program available throughout the San Antonio area to all disabled military veterans, and is lining up other businesses and organizations that want to participate as mentor organizations, just as Clark Construction has done.
“We think Enable America is a wonderful organization that is committed to promoting job opportunities for the veterans and we believe enough can't be done for our veterans,” said John Omran, Executive Vice President of Clark Construction. “Enable America is a model organization and should be supported by all the companies of our great nation for our veterans who need this type of exposure so desperately.”
San Antonio businesses that want to hold similar mentoring events for disabled military veterans, as well as people with disabilities who want to participate in Enable America events, are encouraged to contact Enable America through its web site, EnableAmerica.org, or by calling the group toll free at 1-877-ENABLED (1-877-362-2533).
