You can also find information about career expos that are close to you by visiting the website www.military.com. These free events are designed to link veterans and active military members with job opportunities and educational institutions.
Other websites that list information about job fairs include www.vetjobs.com and www.hireveterans.com. If you are unable to locate a job fair close to you or cannot attend on the dates listed, both of these websites also offer online job fair options.
Studies show that employment offers a valuable sense of purpose, support and structure to veterans after they end their service and may alleviate some of the emotional effects veterans often experience.
