Chamber partners to aid veteran job seekers
Nothing funny about flu
As the influenza sea- son quickly approaches, it’s important that you stay informed and read- ily prepared to protect yourself and your loved ones.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the flu virus. Symptoms include fever, cough, aches, sore throat, stuffy nose, headache and fa- tigue. If you think you have the flu, check in with a medical provider immediately. This is especially important for children, adults aged 65-plus, and individuals with a compromised im- mune system.
Take action this sea- son and know preven- tion is key. The best method of prevention is an annual flu vac- cination. The CDC rec- ommends a yearly flu
vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older as the first and most important protective measure. The vaccine can reduce flu illnesses, missed work and sig- nificantly reduces the risk of flu-associated hospitalization. Some additional preventive actions include avoiding close contact with those
who are ill, covering the nose and mouth with a sleeve or tissue when coughing and sneezing, and ensuring hands are regularly washed with soap and water.

The Tucson Metro Chamber has rolled out a new partnership aimed at helping to link military veterans with aerospace and defense jobs.
The chamber is teaming with Futures, Inc. to launch the Southern Arizona Veterans Workforce Initiative, a website and job portal that helps vet- erans, Reserve members and their families connect with meaningful employment by making it easier for employers to get a grasp of the job skills of individual veterans.
Futures Inc. has developed the program in col- laboration with the Defense Department, with a goal of reducing unemployment among veterans, who can struggle to find work after they leave the military. According to Bureau of Labor statistics, veterans ages 25 to 34 have a higher unemploy- ment rate than nonveterans. This problem is compounded in Tucson, which suffers from nearly a full percent higher unemployment rate than the rest of the nation.
Southern Arizona is an ideal location due to multiple nearby military bases and local colleges, according to Amber Smith, Tucson Metro Chamber president and CEO.
“We are extremely well positioned for this,” she said. “Ultimately we’d like Arizona to be the aero- space and defense hub for our country.”
She added that the website would be one-stop shopping for veterans who are looking for work.
“We’re not duplicating our efforts,” Smith said. “We’re enhancing them and putting them into one
gateway.”
The job pipeline’s website is aerospacejobs.
usmilitarypipeline.com. The mobile-friendly site combines military occupation codes with civilians’ skills and certifications. It also includes factors like security clearances and military work experience.
“It is the day and age where technology can al- low us to do all things better and faster,” said Ian Roark, Pima Community College vice president of workforce development.
The Southern Arizona Veterans Workforce Ini- tiative is working with PCC, automatically routing students in and to their desired two- and four-year programs. Roark said this employment tool will allow the college to connect student veterans to employers almost instantaneously, and it is allow- ing the college to do a 180 to align with the industry.
As part of their collaboration, Tucson Metro Chamber and PCC will host a face-to-face hiring event 1 to 6 p.m. Oct. 23 at the PCC main campus.
“The communities that solve this labor shortage are the ones that are going to win,” said Joe Snell, Sun Corridor Inc. president and CEO.
Tucson was also marked as a great city for the veteran jobs pilot program due to our abundance of aerospace and engineering companies, including Raytheon, Caterpillar, TuSimple and more.
“Labor drives all market decisions,” Snell said. “I think Tucson’s best times are ahead of us.”
