Military Times EDGE Magazine Names Concurrent Technologies Corporation a "Best for Vets" Employer for Second Straight Year

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year, Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) has been recognized as a "Best for Vets" employer by Military Times EDGE Magazine.  50 organizations across the United States were named to the list, and CTC ranked in the Silver category.

"CTC implements policies and procedures that enable us to recruit and retain active duty and veteran military employees," said Edward J. Sheehan, Jr., CTC's President & Chief Executive Officer.  "Because of their experiences, veterans are often aware of technical trends and are uniquely qualified to help our clients resolve mission-critical challenges.  We are honored to be ranked among the top 50 organizations in the country as a 'Best for Vets' employer.  In addition to this recognition, CTC has been recognized numerous times by the Department of Defense's Employer Support of The Guard and Reserve Program and CivlianJobs.com for being a great company for military employees."

To develop 2011's rankings, Military Times EDGE surveyed Fortune 1,000 companies and top government contractors and rated their vet-friendliness in three areas: recruiting, corporate culture, and reserve policies.  Companies are chosen because they make veterans a priority—not just with slogans and statements of support but with programs, policies, and positive track records.

Military Times EDGE online and print magazines provide news and information to service men and women about education and careers in the military and civilian sector.  A complete list of the Best for Vets: Employers 2011 winners can be viewed here.
