The mission of the IBEW 1245 Veterans Committee is unambiguous: “Leave no Veteran behind! Our motivation is clear: welcome all Veterans seeking job opportunities in the electrical industry by organizing them into the IBEW family. To help Veterans transition back into the workforce by providing resources, education, tools, and the necessary skills to be successful upon returning to civilian life. To assist returning Veterans in finding not just a job but a career with good union wages and benefits. Our cause is to provide human security and dignity for returning Veterans who have volunteered and made sacrifices to serve our great nation.”
