Millersville, Maryland - November 12, 2026 - The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded PEAKE the 2026 HIRE Vets Platinum Medallion. Platinum is the program's highest level of recognition. PEAKE previously received the 2025 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion.
The HIRE Vets Medallion Program is the only federal-level award that recognizes employers for veteran hiring and retention. It is run by the Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS).
Congress created the program through the HIRE Vets Act of 2017. Recipients range from small businesses and nonprofits to national corporations. According to the Department of Labor, award recipients have hired nearly 290,000 veterans since the program began.
PEAKE supports veterans first because of their service to the country. Veterans and their families have given a great deal, and PEAKE is proud to offer them meaningful careers in return. The leadership and commitment they bring make the whole team stronger.
Platinum recipients must exceed the Gold benchmarks for veteran hiring and retention and offer a broader set of support programs. PEAKE supports the veterans on its team through:
- Recruiting veterans into mission-focused roles and keeping them for the long term
- Structured onboarding, mentoring, and employee resource groups
- Leadership development and training programs that support career growth
- A workplace that values the experience and perspective veterans bring from their service
PEAKE will continue to invest in recruiting, developing, and retaining veterans, and in building careers where their experience can grow.
