More than 80 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 also include a free University of Phoenix-sponsored employment workshop featuring resume assistance, job search tools, and interviewing techniques for all job-seekers.
