NPCA Partners with U.S. Army Reserve

The National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA), which represents manufacturers of plant-produced precast concrete products supports of the U.S. Army Reserve (AR) by signing an agreement to hire soldiers and veterans.

The National Precast Concrete Association (NPCA) has signed an agreement to hire U.S. Army Reserve (AR) soldiers and veterans. The goal is to strengthen the precast concrete industry workforce and promote the value of citizen soldiers.

The AR's Employer Partnership Office connects soldiers, veterans, and their families with military-friendly employers like NPCA members, allowing soldiers to utilize their military training and experience with employers that recognize their leadership and technical skills.

This also ensures returning soldiers and veterans have the opportunity to find gainful employment, and that those at home are able to maintain careers while they serve.

NPCA Chairman Mimi Rainero Coles said, "In a precast plant, you need to be skilled, team oriented, focused on the task at hand, and have the ability to think on your feet. I can't think of group of candidates that matches that set of requirements better than United States Army Reservists and veterans."

The NPCA provides technical, educational and safety resources to nearly 900 member companies in all 50 states and seven Canadian provinces. For more information about the NPCA, please visit npca.org.
