DENVER, CO — (Marketwire) — 01/23/13 — ENSERVCO Corporation (OTCQB: ENSV), a provider of well-site services to the domestic onshore conventional and unconventional oil and gas industries, today said it is partnering with the National Foundation for Veteran Redeployment to train and employ former military personnel seeking to transition into the civilian workforce. The Company has made a financial contribution to the NFVR, and is currently working with the organization to fill up to 10 positions in transportation and field operations.
NFVR, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supported by a team of industry leaders in finance and energy, helps unemployed veterans transition back to civilian life and self-sufficiency. Founded in 2011, NFVR provides scholarships for training and job placement assistance to veterans seeking high-paying careers in the oil and gas sector. To date, NFVR has assisted nearly 100 unemployed veterans, who previously had no experience or access to the energy business, start new careers.
Rick Kasch, president and CFO of ENSERVCO, said, “The NFVR is performing a valuable service for America–s unemployed veterans and the businesses that wish to hire them. As a rapidly growing Company, ENSERVCO is regularly seeking well-trained personnel to add to its expanding workforce. By partnering with the NFVR, we can offer skilled, well-paid positions to veterans seeking employment in the growing domestic energy industry. We are proud to participate in this worthwhile and mutually beneficial program.”
NFVR founder Scot Cohen, Chairman of Petro River Oil Corp., said, “We are pleased that ENSERVCO–s management has joined forces with NFVR to give our nation–s heroes the support they need to transition back into civilian life. Working closely with partners like ENSERVCO, NFVR is able to support our veterans in their transition toward self-sustainability, a career and financial independence while playing a crucial role in leading our country toward economic and energy independence.”

The foundation offers training, job placement and relocation funding to veterans nationwide. It sources veteran prospects from the military network, social media, and press outlets to reach prospective candidates. The Department of Veteran Affairs has reported that veterans aged 18 to 24 had a nearly 30 percent jobless rate in 2011 — triple the national rate.
