EXELON CORP., U.S. ARMY PARTNER TO CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR VETS

CHICAGO and WASHINGTON, D.C. (Aug. 9, 2013) — In an effort to help young Army soldiers get good jobs after they complete their military service, Exelon Corporation and the U.S. Army yesterday signed an agreement to partner in the Army Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program at a ceremony at the Pritzker Military Library.

“The problem of veteran unemployment is real, and employers are well served to consider job candidates who have military experience,” said Christopher M. Crane, Exelon’s president and CEO, who addressed Army representatives and Exelon veteran employees at the ceremony. “For Exelon, hiring qualified veterans makes good business sense, because they often leave the military with the right skills and values to succeed in our business.”

Under the PaYS program, the U.S. Army forms strategic partnerships with U.S. corporations and public sector agencies to help the Army attract talented young recruits who want to serve their country and to help ensure their future career success when their service is complete.

“This PaYS signing between Exelon and the Army is a great partnership ensuring that Soldiers are not only provided for while serving this great Nation of ours, but also while they return to the communities that they came from,” said Lt. Col. Robert Kaderavek, who represented the U.S. Army at the signing ceremony.
