As a leading veteran-friendly city,
Philadelphia provides the perfect backdrop to host an engaging discussion
focused on public-private partnerships and community engagement around
veteran and military family support—especially from the employment and
career support angles. To that end, on October 15th, 2018, the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes in partnership with Comcast
NBCUniversal will host “A Call to Lead: Creating Lasting Impact for
Philadelphia’s Military Community ". This half-day event intends to
highlight Philadelphia’s military community and its value to the region;
provide best practices for businesses to engage the military community and
move from military friendly to military ready; and highlight pathways to
career fields through education and innovative training programs to build the
greater Philadelphia workforce.
