Duncan Aviation Named Veteran Friendly Employer

One in four Duncan Aviation team members is a military veteran. That’s 546 team members with thousands of years of military experience—and counting. Duncan Aviation actively recruits veterans for its 30 facilities across the nation because their exceptional experience aligns well with the company’s high-quality reputation and core values.

Michigan’s Veterans Affairs Agency recently recognized this perfect pairing and named Duncan Aviation a Bronze Level Veteran Friendly Employer.

“We discuss with our hired veterans what transition advice we can give to new potential team members and their families,” says Vice President of Human Resources Michael Cox. “Providing an easy way to take one skillset and apply it to another career is key in the recruiting process.”

Entering civilian employment is a major life adjustment, but there are many aspects of Duncan Aviation that veteran team members say remain the same: attention to detail, focus on getting the job done right and the support from fellow employees.

“Our veterans have been and will continue to be a huge part of our company, and many team members continue to serve in the Reserves or the National Guard during their career at Duncan Aviation,” says Human Resources Manager Paul David. “We are honored to be recognized as a veteran friendly organization.”
