Video contest for veterans and active duty service members transitioning to the workforceNew York – February 4, 2016 – Hiring America, the nationally syndicated television program designed to help U.S. Veterans leaving the military prepare for new careers, today announced the “Helping Heroes Do Great Things” video contest.
The campaign invites veterans, their families or friends to submit a three-minute original video which explains and shares the experience of transitioning from active duty to civilian life, and provides positive advice to fellow veterans. “Helping Heroes Do Great Things” is a partnership of Hiring America and Lenovo, the world’s leading PC company, and runs through May 15th.
Three selected winners will receive Lenovo technology to support their career efforts. The first place prize is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2-in-1business laptop; second place is the Lenovo S500z all-in-one desktop; and third place is the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 tablet with keyboard.
“We’re committed to assisting veterans as they transition from service careers to the civilian workforce,” said Bill Deutch, executive producer and creator of Hiring America. “This campaign will focus attention on this very critical need, but also the opportunity our transitioning servicemen and women offer employers.”
“Lenovo is the perfect partner for ‘Helping Heroes Do Great Things’,” Deutch said. “The company offers technology devices any veteran would want or need to take the next step in their vocational and personal life, and is very supportive of military service members and their families.”
