Area businesses gained insight from a unique portion of the workforce during a seminar held last Wednesday in Hampton.
     Employers filled the Lighthouse of Life Church to learn how to recruit and retain veteran talent during a panel discussion hosted by IowaWORKS North Iowa. Five U.S. military veterans from Clear Lake, Mason City and Hampton provided their perspective on transitioning from military service to civilian employment.
     Cody Hoyt, U.S. Army veteran; Michael Flatness, U.S. Army and Iowa National Guard veteran; Michael King and Adam Akers, both Iowa Army National Guard veterans and Tony Nussbaum, U.S. Air Force veteran made up the panel.
     Hosting the discussion was “critical” for Karen Mitchell, Franklin County Development Association (FCDA) director.
