Armed Forces to Alpha 

In partnership with local military divisions, Armed Forces to Alpha helps provide men and women who have served our country with job opportunities when they return home. Since 2002, Alpha has hired 416 Veterans. 

 

The Goal: The program  is Alpha's attempt to partner with local Veterans and Reservists, assisting in their transition to the civlian workforce. Soldiers are briefed on opportunites at Alpha and in the coal industry. They can ask questions, fill out an application, even interview for a job: all without stepping foot outside their armory.

In 2006, Alpha Natural Resources received the "Above and Reyond" award from a committee of the U.S. Department of Defense for its support of employees who are called up to active duty. More than 600 companies were nominated for the award.

 

 

This year Alpha donated $35,000 to the Veterans Memorial Park located in Abingdon, VA.  The Veterans Memorial Park is a family oriented park designed to be a place to express appreciation, a place of dedication, education, meditation and  inspiration.

 

I am sincerely thankful that Alpha Natural Resources has opened their door to me. As a recent returning war veteran from Afghanistan, I am humbled for the level of respect, and opportunity that Alpha is creating for me to be a leader in the coal industry.
