Hiring Fair Connects Florida Veterans with Career Opportunities

Fort Pierce, Fla. – CareerSource Research Coast is proud to announce its participation in the state’s tenth annual Paychecks for Patriots, a special hiring fair in November dedicated to employing veterans. To recognize Veterans Day this month, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, the Florida National Guard, the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and participating Florida employers are partnering with CareerSource Florida regions to connect veterans with available careers in their community. 

In an effort to address the employment needs of service members and veterans across the state, the annual Paychecks for Patriots event works to bring employers with current employment opportunities in Florida to the table with great military and veteran candidates.

CareerSource Research Coast is excited to serve those who have served our country. Through Paychecks for Patriots, businesses will be connected with talented, well-trained veterans to join their team. In the past nine years, more than 8,000 veteran candidates and military family members who participated in Paychecks for Patriots across the state have gained employment.

“Veterans carry a workplace discipline that is very attractive to businesses looking to hire. Connecting veterans to purposeful employment with businesses that need to fill staffing positions is something we take great pride in,” said Brian Bauer, CEO/President of CareerSource Research Coast.

This year, the events will be hosted in communities throughout the state during the month of November. Veterans and their families bring dedication, a special set of skills and diversity to Florida’s workforce. CareerSource Research Coast will aim to match veterans with employers who value the knowledge, skills, and attributes attained during military service.
