Veterans who are seeking employment now have two opportunities to meet with employers at UCF events geared specifically for them.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, February 7\u00a0Hiring Our Heroes<\/a>\u00a0comes to the\u00a0FAIRWINDS<\/em>\u00a0Alumni Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is hosted by RecruitMilitary, a veteran-owned firm dedicated to helping veterans achieve their dreams: education, veteran jobs and civilian careers, new business and franchise ownership, training, and much more. Over the last year, they have partnered with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on 67 \u201cHiring Our Heroes\u201d job fairs held across the country, and they\u2019ve been connecting veterans with employers since 1998.<\/p>\n

The other event is the previously announced\u00a0Central Florida Veterans Job Fair\u00a0on Friday, February 22. Hosted by the UCF College of Business Administration and OrlandoJobs.com, the event will take place at the Venue (old UCF Arena) from 10-3. Both events are FREE for job seekers!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is great news for veteran job seekers in Central Florida and just reiterates UCF\u2019s commitment to our military community,\u201d said Lonny Butcher, director of UCFs College of Business Office for Career Connections. \u201cWe were already working with OrlandoJobs, to offer an event that would help folks connect to employers and raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project. Now we have another employment event to offer. Both will have great employers who are looking to specifically hire veteran job seekers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employers who want to be a part of a great February for Central Florida\u2019s service men and women can contact\u00a0RecruitMilitary<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Office for Career Connections\u00a0in the UCF College of Business Administration for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Veterans who are seeking employment now have two opportunities to meet with employers at UCF events geared specifically for them.
