VIP Recruiting is hosting a career fair on 12 September 2017.
★★ All job seekers are welcome. ★★
The date and theme were selected to bring awareness about the issues plaguing Veteran and their Dependent employment. We stated we would never forget the tragedies that took place on 9/11. Many Veterans were deployed the following day - 9/12. VIP Recruiting is trying to repay Veterans and their Dependents for their service and support to our nation with employment opportunities on 12 September 2017.
Here are some of the highlights of the event--
- James A Haley Hospital will be in attendance to help sign Veterans up for their benefits.
