Menasha Corporation is pleased to announce that it is among 25 Wisconsin employers recognized by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development (DWD) for exceptional commitment to hiring and supporting veterans.
The company received a Gold Certification in the large employer category as part of the 2025 Vets Ready Employer Initiative, which recognizes organizations that excel in veteran recruitment and retention.
“We credit the status to the result of many factors, including the use of advanced software to monitor metrics that support our veteran recruitment and hiring goals, and our collaboration with specialized services to match veterans with open positions,” the company notes.
Tina Seashore, Menasha Corporation Chief Human Resources Officer, adds: “At Menasha Corporation, we value the skills, leadership, and dedication that veterans bring to our workforce. Earning the Gold Certification through the Vets Ready Employer Initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to creating meaningful career opportunities for those who have served our country.”
Barriers to employment exist in many forms for U.S. veterans, with underemployment being the most common. DWD and its Office of Veteran Employment Services (OVES) created the Vet’s Ready program in 2020 to recognize employers who go above and beyond for veterans.
On a related note, Packaging Strategies recently published a story on Veterans in Packaging recognizing the unique and valuable skill sets that veterans bring to the packaging industry. That story can be found here.
