Helmets to Hardhats Needs Employers!

January 8 2015

At the recent TAUC State of the Union Construction Industry Forum held in Washington, D.C. on December 10, 2014, Helmets to Hardhats (H2H) Executive Director Darrell Roberts gave an impassioned presentation on his organization’s mission to help exiting military personnel find good job opportunities in the union construction and maintenance industry, whether in the trades or working for union contractors in management positions.

Mr. Roberts specifically asked TAUC to encourage more union contractors to register on the H2H site and post job openings so that more exiting military personnel can begin new careers.
