Upcoming Job Fairs Ideal for Veterans
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- For many returning veterans, finding a job is their new No. 1 mission. Two significant job events for Ohio veterans are coming up this month and next, one in Youngstown, the Ohio Department of Veterans Services reports.
The Youngstown training and employment fair, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 29 at the Holiday Inn-Boardman, focuses on jobs in the emerging shale oil and gas industry -- a natural fit for many veterans, department officials said. The event is sponsored by U.S. Sen. Rob Portman R-Ohio, the Ohio Oil & Gas Association and the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber.
The second event takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 16 in Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, and is sponsored by the company RecruitMilitary in partnership with the American Legion. More than 60 employers are slated to be on hand, including Home Depot, General Electric, Prudential Financial, Norfolk Southern, Cincinnati Bell, and the Vdeterans Administration Medical Center.
