Recognizing the enhanced skills and robust experience veterans contribute, hiring those who have served in the military has been a part of the recruitment strategy for Thompson Creek for many years. We participate in a number of programs and efforts to achieve that goal.
Thompson Creek appreciates the experience, dedication and talent Veterans bring to the company as brand ambassadors and earned the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Certification for its commitment to hiring military Veterans. V3 is an innovative program administered by the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Veterans Services work with companies to promote the recruitment, hiring and retention of military Veterans.
Titus retired from the U.S. Marine Corps as a Major. He sees Thompson Creek as a great place for veterans, noting our core values are based on those same basic fundamental beliefs most veterans are already fully accustomed to.
“The belief that we can accomplish exponentially more working together as a team than we could working individually. The belief that strict adherence to accountability standards bring out the absolute best in any organization. The belief that excellence should not only be the goal we aspire toward, but also the standard by which we operate. And perhaps the element that appealed to me most was the fact that Thompson Creek has an integrity standard that clearly distinguishes us from other companies within our industry. As I’ve progressed throughout my career in the Marine Corps and in the private sector, the concept of winning honorably has remained paramount. For veterans in search of an opportunity to win with honor, Thompson Creek is the right next step.”
