Hiring Red, White and You! Veterans Job Fair
Hiring Red, White and You! Veterans Job Fair is an annually statewide job fair honoring
Veterans, military spouses, family members, and the general public. Workforce boards
host the job fairs beginning November 1st through November 17th. Workforce Solutions
Southeast Texas held its Veterans Job Fair on November 8th and 40 Veterans attended
the event. These Veterans connected with as many as 40 employers representing all
industries in Southeast Texas including petrochemical, manufacturing, construction,
healthcare and medical. Veterans, and their eligible spouses, receive priority service
through the workforce system. The goal of the state-wide event is to help Veterans
transition to civilian life in the communities of their choice. Participating employers
met the Veterans, discussed their skills and abilities acquired through military
service, and possible job opportunities. A total of 157 job seekers were in attendance.
During the HRWY Veterans Job Fair, Southeast Texas board members hosted Texas Workforce
Commission (TWC) Commissioner Albert Trevino III who shared insights on his first
year as Commissioner representing Labor.
