Philadelphia Veterans Job Fair This Week at Lincoln Financial Field

What do veterans bring to America’s employers? According to a joint study conducted by USAA and SHRM Foundation, an overwhelming 94% of employers say that hiring veteran workers is appealing to their organization due to their intangible skills with a mission-first mindset rooted in leadership, discipline, teamwork, selflessness and service.

Not only do veterans bring unmatched skills and work experience to America’s labor market, they also prove to be worthy investments in human capital by maintaining historically low unemployment rates among all demographics at just 2.9%. Recruiting is competitive, but retention is high. Why? Because military trained employees are loyal and mission focused, never quitting until the job is done.

RecruitMilitary and DAV will help veterans and their families by connecting them with employers seeking their military trained talent. The Philadelphia Veterans Job Fair will be held on Thursday, August 4th from 11am to 3pm EST at Lincoln Financial Field. Over 40 of the nation's top employers will be in attendance, ready to network with the Philadelphia military community. Registration is free and available online to all transitioning military, veterans, military spouses, and dependents.
