Schneider National Inc has been named to the  CivilianJobs.com 2012 Most Valuable Employers for Military winner’s list. The  annual list serves to help military-experienced job seekers identify the  nation’s best companies for civilian careers.

  “We are honored to have earned this recognition as a top  employer for current and former military members,” said Mike Hinz, a  vice-president at Schneider and a veteran of the US Army and Reserve. “With  their diverse skill set and outstanding work ethic, current and former military  members have proven time and time again that they make outstanding associates.  I believe it’s our like-minded principles—safety, integrity, excellence, and  respect—that make Schneider National a natural choice for current and former  military personnel.”

  This honor comes shortly after Schneider announced its  commitment to hire 650 military members throughout the nation in 2012.  According to Hinz, while the firm is hiring in all areas of its business, the  greatest area of opportunity is for professional truck drivers.

  The 2012 Most Valuable Employers for Military was open to  all US-based companies. Finalists, which were announced in February, were  selected based on surveys in which employers outlined their recruiting,  training, and retention plans that best serve military service members and  veterans. Schneider was selected as a winner from this pool of finalists.

  Among Schneider’s many offerings for current and former  military members is its Apprenticeship Program. Because of Schneider’s  commitment to veterans, Guard members, and Reservists, the Department of  Veterans Affairs (VA) accepted Schneider into its exclusive Apprenticeship  Program. During their first year at Schneider, drivers with a military  background are eligible to earn a monthly educational benefit check from the VA  in addition to their paycheck—up to $1,069 each month depending on the number  of years of service.

  Other military-specific benefits Schneider offers include  guaranteed home time for weekend drill and annual training for Guard and  Reserve members as well as extended benefits and differential pay during  deployment.
