Labor Shortage Shenanigans: Vermont Militia becomes Job Service for civilian employers!

Vermont is a geographically small state, a little smaller than the regions of Eastern and Southeastern Idaho (which, apparently, at the federal level are combined in one Eastern Idaho region), but with a population just over half-a-million. The regions of Eastern and Southeastern Idaho have combined populations of less than a half-a-million.

Despite being relatively population dense, the Vermont National Guard is having trouble finding new recruits to join-up, and silly-vilian (civilian) employers claim they can’t find qualified workers. They have created a new ‘incentive’ program called Partnered Recruiting Initiative for Military and Employers, or PRIME.

On 11FEB2023, a company called Blodgett Oven announced that it was willing to become the first victim, I mean participant.

The official signing ceremony took place on 15FEB2023.

Basically, PRIME is a type of ‘civilian’ employment system for National Guard personnel: “At Blodgett, we understand the importance of supporting our military members and their families. Through this partnership with the Vermont National Guard, we are proud to provide employment opportunities and support to those who have so bravely served our country. We are thrilled to be the first employer to join the PRIME Program and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our community.”-Erica Havers, President of Blodgett Ovens

So if you live in Vermont, and you need a job, better join the National Guard:
