Supporting Veterans and Their Families: Hosting Hiring for Heroes Events at LTRI

At LTRI, we are proud to support initiatives that help our local community thrive. One of the ways we contribute is by hosting events for Hiring for Heroes, a Louisiana state program commissioned by the governor and run through the Bossier Chamber of Commerce. This important initiative focuses on connecting veterans and their spouses with meaningful job opportunities in Louisiana, helping reduce out-migration and ensuring that military families remain an integral part of our state’s workforce.

Creating Opportunities through Events
By providing a welcoming space for Hiring for Heroes events, LTRI helps foster connections between veterans, their spouses, and local employers. These events offer veterans a chance to meet with potential employers, participate in workshops, and explore career pathways that align with their skills and experiences. Our facility provides the ideal setting for these events, with large classrooms and state-of-the-art technology to support both in-person and virtual interactions.

Why It Matters
Louisiana has a rich military history, and many veterans choose to settle here after their service. However, some face challenges in finding the right career opportunities, leading to out-migration. Hosting Hiring for Heroes events at LTRI is one way we can help combat this trend by providing veterans and their families with the resources and networks they need to thrive in Louisiana. These events also give local businesses a chance to connect with a highly skilled, motivated talent pool.
