FORT EUSTIS — Disabled American Veterans and RecruitMilitary will co-host a Fort Eustis Hiring Event, Dec. 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fort Eustis Club.
The event is free to veterans, their spouses, active duty military personnel and members of the National Guard and Reserve.
According to DAV, more than 18 employers actively seeking the unique talents of America’s veterans will be on-site representing a range of industries, from construction to medical to administrative and logistics, with career opportunities from entry level to senior management.
In addition to employment assistance, DV said veterans 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 said it will sponsor more than 90 in-person and virtual job fairs. Since the inception of its employment initiative in 2014, there have been nearly 274,000 attendees and more than 167,000 job offers.
Last year, to support employers, dispel myths and demonstrate the business case for employing America’s nearly 4 million veterans with a service-connected disability, DAV noted it developed The Veteran Advantage: DAV Guide to Hiring and Retaining Veterans with Disabilities. This guide offers best practices and helpful tools for employers and strives to inspire more organizations to consider the veteran talent pool.
