Veterans Are Vital to Minnesota's Workforce
3 Jul 2019
Governor Tim Walz has declared July “Hire a Veteran Month" to encourage Minnesota employers to connect the state's 153,000 military service members of working age with employment opportunities in July and throughout the year.
As part of “Hire a Veteran Month,” DEED is inviting job-seeking veterans, active military members, and their spouses to attend the 13th Annual Veterans Career Fair on Wednesday, July 24 from 2-6 p.m. at the Earle Brown Heritage Center (6155 Earle Brown Drive) in Brooklyn Center.
The event will provide networking opportunities with over 100 on-site employers who have been encouraged to offer full-time jobs with benefits and family-sustaining wages.
