Recruiting Veterans: A smart tactical maneuver

When Josh White accepted a summer help position at Agri-Industrial Plastics in Fairfield after high school, he never imagined he would still be working for the company 12 years later.
White joined the National Guard when he was 17 and served for 10 years, including a yearlong deployment to Iraq in 2005.
He and his boss, Agri-Industrial President Lori Schaefer-Weaton, agree the skills he learned in the military have positioned him well for a leadership role on the manufacturing floor.
