Portfolio Recovery Recognized as Certified Employer of Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program

This month, Portfolio Recovery Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq:PRAA), a financial and business services company operating in the U.S. and the U.K., was recognized by the Virginia Department of Veteran Services (DVS) as a “Virginia Values Veterans” (V3)-certified employer. Through this initiative, the Norfolk-based company is committing to hiring more veterans at its Hampton Roads locations in 2014.

“We have always had veterans working at our locations,” said Michelle Link, PRA’s senior vice president of human resources. “We hired 26 veterans in Virginia last year, and we expect this growth trend to continue through the V3 program. By joining V3, our goal is to raise awareness about the uncapped opportunities PRA can offer to veterans after they complete their military service.”
