HANOVER, Md., July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Aerotek, Inc., a leading provider of recruiting and staffing services, announced today that it has been recognized by Habitat for Humanity with the 360-Degree Award, which honors an organization that is a strong advocate and supporter of the Habitat Chesapeake's mission to bring people together to build lives, communities and hope. Aerotek was selected as the recipient of the 360-Degree Award this year for its unyielding support of the HabiCorps program and for participation in build events throughout Habitat communities.

Aerotek's relationship with Habitat for Humanity of the Chesapeake began in October 2015, with a total of 257 volunteers completing 1,484 hours since then.

The HabiCorps Workforce Development Program offers meaningful, hands-on training in construction trades to people facing significant employment barriers. HabiCorps trainees work in small teams led by skilled instructors on projects ranging from new construction to complete gut rehabilitation. Upon completion of the program, trainees receive an educational award that can be used toward apprenticeship, college and job placement assistance from Aerotek.
