The U.S. Army and Clarios, a global leader in advanced low-voltage battery technologies, have announced a new partnership under the Army Partnership for Your Success (PaYS) Program. This collaboration aims to create meaningful career pathways for local transitioning soldiers, offering them guaranteed job interviews at Clarios facilities.
Partnership Details
The agreement was signed at Clarios' San Antonio Distribution Center by Brigadier General Monie R. Ulis, Deputy Adjutant General-Army, and Dean Nemecek, Program Manager for Military Hiring and Engagement at Clarios. Through the Army PaYS program, Clarios will provide eligible soldiers with guaranteed job interviews, opening doors to a wide variety of career opportunities in San Antonio and at its 17 manufacturing and distribution centers across the United States.
Commitment to Service Members
Brigadier General Ulis emphasized the importance of the program, stating, "The Army PaYS program is about creating real opportunities for our Soldiers as they transition to civilian life. We are grateful to partner with Clarios, a company that recognizes the value of military experience and is committed to supporting our service members." Dean Nemecek, a veteran himself, added, "As a veteran, I know firsthand that the hardest part of transition isn't finding a job; it's finding a mission worth showing up for. This partnership gives transitioning Soldiers a guaranteed seat at the table at Clarios, a company where their discipline, technical skills, and leadership experience aren't just welcomed; they're needed."
Career Opportunities
Clarios operates 17 manufacturing and distribution centers across the United States and more than 50 facilities worldwide. The company offers a diverse range of jobs, including production, maintenance, logistics, quality assurance, engineering, and supervisory roles. Whether candidates are starting their careers or seeking new challenges, Clarios provides pathways for professional development and advancement in a dynamic, international environment. The company's global footprint means that career opportunities extend beyond San Antonio, with roles available in North America, Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
About the Army PaYS Program
Army PaYS is a strategic partnership program between the U.S. Army and a cross-section of American corporations and public sector agencies. The program was developed to help the Army attract, train, and deploy talented young people who want to serve their country while also securing their future success after military service. Employers that sign as corporate partners in PaYS agree to consider appropriately qualified soldiers leaving Army service for positions at those companies. Under the agreement, enlistees interested in gaining specific job training and qualifications will receive that training while in the Army. Participation by the company, soldier, and Army is secured with an agreement that gives the soldier priority consideration in the employment process. However, the company reserves the right to determine whether to ultimately hire the PaYS soldier.
