Arizona Public Service and its parent company, Pinnacle West Capital Corp., have been awarded the HIRE Vets Medallion by the U.S. Department of Labor for its commitment to veteran careers.

The Department announced that 2018 would be a demonstration of the program, prior to full implementation in 2019. APS employees – and U.S. military veterans – Paul Rose (Navy), Carmen Sparkman (Army) and Ray Brooks (Marine Corps) accepted the award on APS’ behalf at a ceremony held Thursday, Nov. 8 in Washington D.C.
