Veterans

The Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program connects the military community — service members, military spouses and veterans — with American businesses to create economic opportunity and support a strong and diversified workforce. In partnership with Hiring our Heroes, McCarthy offers three, 12-week cohorts to selected service members interested in office and craft careers in construction. The program, including both professional training and hands-on experience, is an outstanding opportunity to learn more about construction careers and our unique McCarthy culture.

We partner with Adaptive Construction Services, a veteran-owned and staffing organization, to implement an accredited apprenticeship program free for participating veterans. Each apprentice builds skill through the combination of on-the-job training, mentorship and technical instruction to help veterans understand and develop the skills and knowledge essential to be successful. Qualifying participants also have access to other services including access to GI Bill benefits and housing assistance. 

We connect with currently serving or recently transitioned military members through the ArmyPaYs database. McCarthy guarantees interviews to those who apply to our job postings, allowing candidates to have a conversation, often their first, with the private sector. 

The Home Builders Institute partners with The Home Depot Foundation to provide construction training at 10 military installations across America for service members prior to discharge. Participants in the 12-week training can choose from: carpentry, plumbing, electrical, solar and HVAC. We are working with HBI to provide participants access to a fast-track foreman apprenticeship program to support McCarthy renewable energy projects.
