ITT makes list of military-friendly employers

November

ITT Corp. of White Plains was selected by G.I. Jobs magazine as one of the nation’s top 50 military-friendly employers.

The company’s strong military recruiting efforts, high percentage of new military hires and policies that support National Guard and Reservists helped ITT rank fifth out of nearly 2,500 eligible companies and first in the defense and aerospace industry, the company said.

ITT’s defense products include air traffic control systems, advanced communications systems, radar and night-vision goggles.

“Veterans make up as much as 70 to 80 percent of our workforce in some locations around the world because military experience provides identifiable and transferable skills that are proven in real world situations,” said A. John Procopio, vice president and director of human resources at ITT Defense Electronics and Services.
