Also, as an additional benefit for veterans, the inaugural Central Florida Veterans Job Fair is being planned for Feb. 22 at the Venue on campus. The College of Business Administration’s Office for Career Connections and OrlandoJobs.com will hold the fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. .

The purpose of the event is to match veterans with top employers from around the region while raising money for the Wounded Warrior Project. The service event is being organized and managed by MBA students enrolled in the one-year cohort program, which includes some veterans.

The event is free for all attendees. For more information on the career fair, contact cc@ucf.edu or 407-823-5627.
