An Untapped Community
There’s no doubt that veterans have unique, fully developed skill sets that bring significant value to civilian industry. Despite an overwhelming interest in hiring veterans, however, employers often struggle to reach the military community and to find the right Veteran for their opening. Our event is designed to connect employers and professional development directly with the military community through high-impact, targeted resources, education, and networking.
An Opportunity Unlike Any Other
As members of the military community, we’ve provided free headshots to Veterans, military spouses, and transitioning service members for four years. This year, we’re hosting a Career Development Convention offering a full suite of professional development services to the military community. This includes resources other job fairs just can’t match, like video profiles and free headshots!
Together We’re Making a Difference
Sponsor our event to receive special benefits while directly supporting the Veterans in your community.
