The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, along with lead sponsors USAA and University of Phoenix, will host Hiring Our Heroes – Quantico, a hiring fair for veterans and military spouses. More than 60 employers are expected to participate with jobs available for veterans and military spouses of all ranks and levels of experience. Companies range from America’s biggest employers to dozens of small companies from the region.
The event will include a free Hiring Our Heroes employment workshop at 8:30 a.m. focusing on resume writing, interview skills, and job search techniques for all military members and their spouses. Employers are also invited to attend a Brunch & Learn sponsored by USAA from 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. prior to the hiring fair.
In March 2012, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and Capital One launched Hiring 500,000 Heroes, a national campaign to engage the business community in committing to hire half a million veterans and military spouses by the end of 2014. Thus far, more than 1,700 businesses of all sizes have pledged to hire 585,000 heroes and have helped us exceed this goal. To date, 369,000 hires have been confirmed.
