Monster & Spike TV Partner to Support Network's 'Hire A Vet' Initiative

"Hire A Vet" elevates veteran employment issues across Spike TV's multiple platforms -- showcasing veterans' skills, connecting them to resources and highlighting opportunities. As a link between the military, nonprofits, companies and veterans, HAV is part of a coalition dedicated to lowering the unemployment rate of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

· HOW IT WORKS:

HAV uses filmed content, social media and Spike tent pole events to salute businesses and non-profits that are putting veterans back to work. In addition, HAV works with partners to stage Job Preparatory workshops for veterans returning to the civilian workforce.

· WHO IT HELPS:

HAV helps veterans prepare for and find jobs. It encourages companies large and small to hire veterans and gives them access to the resources necessary to do so.
