Kansas Department of Commerce
Jobseekers and employers searching for available talent is encouraged by the Kansas Department of Commerce, to take part in the upcoming “Hire a Veteran Day” virtual job fair, hosted by KANSASWORKS, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, July 25.
This job fair is open to all jobseekers but primarily is aimed at veterans preparing to transition to civilian careers.
“Military veterans don’t just get the job done — they lead with purpose and strive for greatness in all things they do,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “Their leadership, discipline and diverse skillsets make them invaluable to our workforce — and I encourage any transitioning servicemembers who are exploring their next chapter to attend and connect with our state’s outstanding employers.”
KANSASWORKS is hosting this special event to connect veterans with employers who recognize the value of military experience. Participating employers understand military skillsets and actively are seeking to hire those who have served.
The Virtual Job Fair format allows anyone searching for a position to fill out applications, chat live and interview virtually with participating employers.
The Virtual Statewide Job Fair portal features helpful information such as a jobseeker training video, a list of participating employers and channels for attendees to register and log in. Jobseekers are encouraged to dress professionally, as they might be asked to engage in an interview.
Candidates can participate through any digital device. Any individual with a disability may request accommodations by contacting their nearest workforce center at (877) 509-6757 prior to the event.
Registration is required to participate in virtual job fairs, regardless of previous participation. To register, click: bit.ly/KSVetsJobFair.
