NCOA
The Career Expo Program stood up in 1973, in the early years the Program hosted 10 events per year, and is the focal point of NCOA’s VEA (Veteran’s Employment Assistance.) Today the Program hosts an annual schedule of 45 – 48 Career Expos nationwide.
The Mission of the Program – To assist U.S. Military men and women currently in transition, veterans, Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses in their search for meaningful civilian employment. They are from all five branches of the U.S. Military, and they include NCOs, enlisted personnel, and officers. The skill sets/backgrounds of the candidates vary according to the military installations associated with the event and the surrounding metropolitan area. Our events are designed to be powerful recruiting tools that help employers from all industries tap into America’s most talented, diverse, and experienced group of candidates.
NCOA’s Military Career Expos are completely self-supporting, we do not receive any government funds/grants to cover the expenses of hosting the events. This includes facility costs, catering, printing the Career Expo Guide, and travel expenses to the events for the NCOA team. However, where any proceeds are realized from the Career Expos after expenses are met, these monies are put back into the benevolent funds of the Association. We also make donations to our charitable partners that support veterans and their families.
