DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and RecruitMilitary will co-host the Transitioning Service Member & Spouse Virtual Career Fair on February 10, from 11-3pm Eastern. This virtual event is free to active-duty military personnel, veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserve, transitioning service members and their spouses.
More than 39 employers will be on-site, actively seeking the unique talents of America’s military community for their open roles. Career opportunities range from entry level to senior management in a variety of industries.
In addition to employment assistance, attendees can utilize career counseling and resume assistance, network with fellow veterans and military personnel, and get support with their Department of Veterans Affairs benefits and claims assistance — all at no cost.
This year, DAV will sponsor more than 95 in-person and virtual job fairs. Since the inception of its employment initiative in 2014, the job fairs have generated more than 200,000 job offers in the military community and are regularly adding new locations.
To support employers and demonstrate the business case for employing veterans with a service-connected disability, DAV published The Veteran Advantage: DAV’s Hiring Guide for Employers of the Military Community. This guide offers tips and practical tools for employers that wish to improve their recruiting, hiring and retention practices of this talent pool.
DAV’s National Employment Director Jeremy Yost, a service-disabled Marine veteran is available to discuss trends in veteran and military spouse hiring, valuable employment-related resources, and job opportunities nationwide. To arrange an interview, contact Jeremy Yost at 859-442-2061.
