UT-Battelle, the managing contractor of the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has received a gold medallion award from the Department of Labor’s Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans, or HIRE Vets, program.

The HIRE Vets medallion award is the only federal award that recognizes exemplary efforts in veteran employment, including recruiting, employing and retaining military veterans.

“We are proud of the military veterans in our workforce, who bring unique experiences, skills and knowledge that are critical to meeting the various missions we steward for the nation,” said ORNL director Stephen Streiffer. “As part of that, we are intentional in our efforts to provide them an exceptional work experience.”

Large employers recognized with gold medallions must have at least 7% of new hires who are veterans and maintain a 75% retention rate for 12 months.
