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.
