Frequently asked questions

Who can attend?

Military Spouses; Student Veterans and those using Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits; transitioning service members; anyone who has served in the United States Military regardless of discharge status.

Is this a job fair?

NO. Unlike a job fair where you may overwhelmed by the sheer number of employers and your conversations are very limited to 10 minutes or less, our partner employers are here to speak with you one on one to learn more about you and your career intentions.

How should I prepare?

Pretty simple. Show up. Resumes are optional, but not required (employers can also give you candid feedback on them if you have one). Attire is uniform of the day or business casual.

Is this an all day event?

NO. Our employers are here from 9 am to 4 pm. Feel free to stop by at a time that's convenient for YOU.

Organized by

The Hampton Roads Workforce Council (HRVECs)

A division of the Hampton Roads Workforce Council (HRWC), the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Centers (HRVECs) partner with all the area’s military installations and local Chambers of Commerce to host Career Summits, DoD Skillbridge EXPOs, Executive Military Transition Seminars and Workshops on the Peninsula and Southside regions of Hampton Roads. Free of charge to military families, active-duty service members and veterans, each event connects our military community with dozens of businesses, universities, government agencies and veteran service organizations (VSOs) in a casual environment.

The HRVECs, Military Installation teams and Chambers of Commerce collaborate to design events that reach our military community. These men, women and youth often face difficulty in connecting with vetted resources. By offering an environment with vetted employers, entrepreneurs, wrap around service providers and higher education professionals, we create events that engage our local and inbound military community.
