With the Iraq and Afghanistan military engagements winding down, many military veterans will find themselves home and out of work. Staffing firms can help the country as well as their own companies by working to help these troops get transition into the civilian workforce. Retired Air Force Colonel Ken Huxley, southwest manager for Strategic Staffing Solutions, discusses how the staffing industry is in a unique position to help in The Staffing Stream.

Huxley is participating in a panel discussion, on building a successful veterans’ program Tuesday at the Staffing Industry Analysts Executive Forum.

The Staffing Stream is a blog where issues, trends and views from all corners of the staffing industry are discussed. Our ecosystem includes a range of thought leaders — such as executives at staffing firms, buyers of staffing services and representatives of industry vendors, among others.
