West Valley City to Participate in the United States Army PaYS Program

Mayor Mike Winder signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the U.S. Army for West Valley City to participate in the Partnership for Youth Success Program (PaYS).

As part of the PaYS program, West Valley City will partner with the Army to interview qualified PaYS participants for employment with the City for future job openings upon receiving an honorable discharge, completion of active duty training, or receiving a bachelor’s degree.

“West Valley City is proud to have many employees who are serving or have served in the armed forces,” said City Manager Wayne Pyle. “The PaYS program will provide our City with another way to fill future positions with quality individuals.”

According to the PaYS website (www.armypays.com), PaYS “is a recruiting initiative developed by the U.S. Army Recruiting Command to appeal to young people interested in obtaining a quality civilian job after serving in the Army. This unique program is part of the Army’s effort to partner with America’s business community and reconnect America with the Army.”
