Napa County partners with U.S. Army to provide career pathways for soldiers

NAPA COUNTY - In an effort to continue to hire and foster top talent in county government, Napa County has partnered with the U.S. Army through the Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program to provide soldiers with career pathways through the county's more than 18 departments. At the November 12 meeting, the Board of Supervisors, along with officials from the U.S. Army and Napa County, had a ceremony to celebrate the new partnership.

The U.S. Army PaYS Program is a strategic partnership between the U.S. Army and a cross section of public sector agencies, corporations, and companies. PaYS Partners guarantee soldiers an interview and possible employment after they have completed their service. This unique program is part of the Army's effort to partner with America's business community and reconnect America with its Army.

"We are thrilled to partner with the U.S. Army to help soldiers prepare for their future as they simultaneously serve their country," said Joelle Gallagher, Chair of the Napa County Board of Supervisors. "Military service prepares individuals for the civilian workforce with valuable and transferrable skills that we highly value as an organization."

Napa County employs more than 1,600 employees, including many veterans. The County is dedicated to hiring employees of different backgrounds to reflect the diversity of our workforce and the community.

"We are honored to work alongside recruiters from the Army, National Guard, and ROTC to create opportunities for the dedicated individuals in the U.S. Armed Forces," said Christine Briceno, Napa County Director of Human Resources. "This partnership will bolster our efforts to provide veterans with opportunities to build rewarding, successful careers after their service."
