.

“JobPath’s unique platform will ensure that there is a great fit between the veteran hired and the AICC member company doing the hiring,” said AICC Vice President Mike D’Angelo in [a media release (opens in a new tab)](https://www.aiccbox.org/news/427499/AICC-Partners-with-JobPath-.htm)
 announcing the program. “We could not be prouder to be entering into this partnership.”

**Why does it work?** With JobPath, members can post jobs for free and access a candidate database and employee-matching system, which uses automated technology to connect employers with candidates whose skills meet job requirements.

**What’s the bonus?** The new partnership also serves as an opportunity to train veterans for the packaging profession. Through JobPath, AICC links job candidates to its online [Packaging School (opens in a new tab)](https://www.aiccbox.org/page/packagingschool)
