Tampa, FL – October 2024 – Spathe Systems proudly announces its third consecutive win of the prestigious HIRE Vets Platinum Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor, underscoring our deep-rooted commitment to supporting America’s veterans as they transition into successful civilian careers. This distinguished recognition honors Spathe Systems’ unwavering dedication to recruiting, retaining, and advancing veterans within our organization, further solidifying our role as a premier destination for military talent in the civilian workforce.

The HIRE Vets Medallion, initiated in 2018, is the highest federal honor for excellence in veteran employment, establishing a rigorous standard that Spathe Systems is privileged to uphold. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Spathe’s third Platinum Medallion Award represents a mission-driven effort to provide veterans with resources, mentorship, and programs that empower them to thrive in civilian roles.

Reflecting on this achievement, Dr. Mark A. Clifton, President of Spathe Systems, said, “As a retired Command Sergeant Major and former US Army Drill of the Year, I once helped turn civilians into soldiers, making them one of the nation’s most valuable resources. Today, I am proud to help servicemembers and their families transition back to civilian life and careers. We are extremely proud of our Spathe Family for their selfless and tireless efforts in winning the Department of Labor’s HIRE Vets Platinum Award for the third year in a row.”

Spathe Systems’ dedication to veterans extends beyond hiring practices, encompassing our Workforce Modernization Program, personalized career coaching, veteran-specific human resources support, leadership development, and tuition assistance initiatives. This year’s award highlights Spathe’s continuous innovation in building a workplace that supports veterans’ growth and leadership potential.

Jon Armentrout, Spathe’s Principal Solutions Architect and a recently transitioned veteran, expressed his gratitude: “I would like to congratulate Spathe Systems on earning a third consecutive HIRE Vet Medallion Platinum Award! As the newest retired military veteran and former federal civil service employee to join the SPATHE team, I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a business that truly knows how to take care of its employees. SPATHE provided invaluable assistance in helping me transition from federal civil service to industry. The company’s unique workforce modernization program is optimized to support both transitioning military and transitioning federal employees. Special thanks to Dr. Mark Clifton and Mr. AC Coley for creating a priceless capability!”

As a meaningful addition to this year’s award, Spathe Systems has shared a video testimonial from our Director of Strategic Relations, Arthur “AC” Coley, sharing his heartfelt thanks for this award and celebrating the dedication of our team in providing unmatched support to veterans.
