"Qualis Corporation is committed to fostering an inclusive environment, and we are proud to hire our veterans to be a part of this great team. It is an honor to be recognized as a Medallion Award recipient.," said Keanna Nichols, Qualis Human Resources Vice President.

The HIRE Vets Medallion Award is the only federal-level veterans' employment award that recognizes a company's commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development.

"Qualis is passionate about partnering with veterans and bringing their experience to the team in support of the warfighter. We are proud to be one of the 427 companies recognized this year. During the awards ceremony, speakers discussed the training and development military members go through, here and abroad, and how that translates to the civilian workforce. We are looking forward to veteran partnerships in years to come!" said Ellen Vought, Qualis Human Resources Recruiter, who accepted the award on behalf of the company.

The HIRE Vets Act requires the Secretary of Labor to establish a program, by rule, that recognizes employer efforts to recruit, employ, and retain veterans.
