Attend the Paychecks for Patriots
Virtual Hiring Fair on November 17th
The 2020 Veteran Friendly Employers Will Also be Recognized
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. –CareerSource Capital Region is proud to participate in the 8th annual Paychecks for Patriots – a hiring fair dedicated to Veterans, active military, their families and the general public.
“This year’s Paychecks for Patriots virtual hiring fair is an awesome opportunity for veterans and non-veterans to connect with employers from a wide array of industries who are looking to fill positions in the Big Bend area,” said Local Veterans’ Employment Representative, Derrick Sykes at CareerSource Capital Region. “We know that during this unprecedented time, it can be challenging to connect with employers directly; however, this virtual hiring fair will offer career seekers the ability to directly get in front of employers through video conferencing. We hope this fair is a bridge to fill the gap between local businesses and candidates who need to find work quickly.”
