Core Development Group Partners with Hiring Our Heroes for Corporate Fellowship Program

MAHWAH, N.J., Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Core Development Group, a nationally ranked solar energy developer, announced today that it has officially partnered with Hiring Our Heroes, a nationwide initiative of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, for a Corporate Fellowship Program.

The 12-week Corporate Fellowship Program, which begins January 18, connects transitioning military service members with opportunities for hands-on corporate training and mentorship. In this train-to-hire structure, individuals will complete on-the-job training each week at Core Development Group followed by a "leadership huddle" to prepare them for the transition to the private sector.

"We are humbled and honored that our company has been selected to participate in the Hire Our Heroes program," said Henry Cortes, Owner and Founder of Core Development Group. "For their devoted service to our nation, military servicemembers deserve to receive all the tools and strategies for a seamless transition into the civilian sector."

Core Development Group will host two military veterans: one in the engineering department and one in the development department. The veterans will experience training in their designated fields, while undergoing additional education in the overall renewable energy market, including solar, storage, EV charging station installation, natural gas, and microgrid.

"We pride ourselves on diversity and inclusion; and military veterans play an integral role in providing this collaborative environment," said Cortes. "Our team is more than excited to begin training; yet perhaps even more interested in what we can learn from them."
