Alliant has been recognized for efforts to hire returning veterans
Washington, DC - On Monday, Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) will visit Alliant Energy's Cedar Rapids Operations Center to discuss veterans' job creation and the company's success hiring returning veterans.
Braley will tour the facility, discuss veterans hiring with company officials and employees, and hold a media availability.
Braley has made reducing the unemployment rate among veterans a key focus of his job creation efforts. In 2011, Braley introduced the Combat Veterans Back to Work Act, a precursor to two bipartisan tax credits ultimately signed into law that provided incentives to businesses that hire veterans. In October 2011, Braley hosted a field hearing in Waterloo focused on the unemployment rate among veterans. And last month, Braley introduced the Veterans Jobs Corps Act, a program to put veterans back to work improving national parks and serving as police officers and firefighters.
