OPENING DOORS FOR OUR HEROES: ESFM WELCOMES VETERANS THROUGH DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PARTNERSHIP

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (November 11, 2024) – Our nation’s veterans have given so much through their military service, and ESFM is proud to support them in building promising careers as they step into the future they envision.

In 2024, ESFM, Compass Group USA’s facilities management division for the business and industry market, became a partner in the Department of Defense SkillBridge program, providing hands-on training and mentorship to military veterans transitioning from active service into civilian life.

Compass Group earned the recognition and distinction as a DOD SkillBridge industry partner in December 2023. The DOD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for service members to gain valuable civilian work experience during the last 180 days of service. Compass Group and ESFM have committed to offer job opportunities to SkillBridge fellows after the fellowship period ends.

“Our role is to meet our veterans where they are and support how they want to exit military service,” said Dawn Lyons, Sr. Director, HR & Military Talent. “Helping veterans who possess a diverse skill set in technical and specialized areas find career paths that are fulfilling and lasting is an honor and a joy.”

ESFM is currently accepting applicants and is looking forward to supporting transitioning servicemembers into a career in facilities management.
