Beacon announced last week that it had partnered with the U.S. Army “Partnership for Your Success,” or PaYS, Program to provide military service members with career pathways in the roofing industry following their military service. 

The alliance, announced in a September 5 news release, means Beacon commits to supporting Veterans and providing career opportunities to those who have served our nation. As a PaYS Partner, Beacon will actively recruit Veterans for roles across the company, offering them the chance to build rewarding careers throughout the Company’s nationwide footprint.

“We are honored to join forces with the U.S. Army PaYS Program to support the Veteran community and the men and women who have served our country by providing career opportunities that leverage their skills, discipline and leadership,” said Sean McDevitt, Beacon’s chief human resources officer. 

“Our commitment to Veterans also extends into our communities through our Beacon of Hope program that awards Veterans free roofs and our sponsorship of K9s for Warriors,” McDevitt added.

The PaYS Program is a partnership between the U.S. Army and various organizations. It allows soldiers to prepare for their future while serving and guarantees them interview and employment opportunities after their Army service. This initiative aims to connect the Army with the business community and the American people.

“PaYS is designed to set soldiers up for success beyond their military careers," said Brigade Commander Col. Julian Perez, U.S. Army. "Beacon’s participation in this Program is a testament to their dedication to Veterans; their partnership will ensure a seamless transition for soldiers into civilian roles within Beacon and the roofing industry."
