  • KXAN-TV News Features RSI Communities’ Efforts to Hire Veterans

In July of this year, KXAN-TV, an NBC affiliate in Austin, Texas, reported on a growing workforce shortage in the homebuilding industry amidst a boom in the industry. Orion is proud to be a part of the solution to this problem, as Veterans are a natural fit for homebuilding, and companies are actively seeking to hire military to help alleviate the workforce crunch felt as the demand for new homes increases.

John Bohnen, Chief Operating Officer of RSI Communities, recently spoke to KXAN-TV about why RSI Communities seeks to hire Veterans. Bohnen, a graduate of the US Military Academy at West Point and former Army Officer, has a keen understanding of the qualities that Veterans bring to the industry. “Their broad experience in the military certainly allows them to adapt to the construction industry very quickly,” he said. “That’s really helped us fill that void that our market really needs.”
