Participants in the Army ROTC program are now on the fast track for future employment with one of America's premier transportation corporations. In a ceremony conducted on Feb. 7, Schneider National, Inc. became the first U.S. corporation to enter into an agreement for the establishment of a Partnership for Youth Success program involving Army officers.
“We modeled the ROTC PaYS program on the highly successful program that has already been in place for some time through Recruiting Command for enlisted Soldiers,” said Maj. Gen. W. Montague Winfield, the commanding general of U.S. Army Cadet Command.
“This program benefits everyone concerned. Schneider National will have the opportunity to interview and potentially employ graduates of our program who have leadership skills that we have helped hone to a razor's edge. And our graduates will have the opportunity to compete for great management positions within a corporation that has a proven record of success. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Our partnership with Schneider National is just the beginning of where we hope to take the ROTC PaYS program,” Winfield said.
The agreement through which Schneider National entered into a PaYS commitment with the Army ROTC program was signed in a formal ceremony conducted at the Marina Hotel in Hampton . Lt. Gen. Benjamin C. Freakley, Commanding General of U.S. Army Accessions Command, was the senior leader present at the signing ceremony. Representing Schneider National were Rob Reich, Senior Vice-President of Enterprise Recruiting, and Jack Copeland, Director of Recruiting Operations.
