A Sheboygan manufacturer has been honored for going “above and beyond” to hire and support veterans and their families. The “Vets Ready Employer Awards” are given by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development each year. Small, medium and large employers are given either a gold or silver certification based upon the support system within the workplace, hiring and retaining veterans in the workforce and connecting veterans and their families in the community.
22 employers were included in this year’s honorees list; among them – Old Wisconsin Sausage Company of Sheboygan, a large employer which was honored for the first time with a Gold certification. Old Wisconsin will be highlighted as a Vets Ready employer on the Job Center of Wisconsin website; they’ll be given a Vets Ready Winner icon for their own website, and will receive their certificate during an upcoming recognition event.
Another regional employer, Worthington Cylinders of Chilton, was also a winner of a Gold certification in the Medium-size category.
