LOS ANGELES -- About 2,000 veterans and military spouses attended a job fair here yesterday aimed at connecting them with military-friendly employers while raising awareness across the civilian workforce about the value of hiring vets.
“Veterans and military spouses have the kinds of skills that employers covet,” said Ross Cohen, director of the organization ServiceNation: Mission Serve, which helped organize the job fair.
“They are dependable, they have incredible management experience – and the issue is just translating those skills to the civilian workforce.”
About 150 employers hosted booths at the Hiring Our Heroes job fair, which was held at Sony Studio’s Stage 15 in Culver City, Calif. – the same stage where the Wizard of Oz was filmed. Employers who attended the job fair included Sony, Bank of America, Aflac, Wal-Mart and Waste Management.
