Dublin VA to hold veterans job fair Thursday

The Carl Vinson VA Medical Center in Dublin will hold a job fair for veterans Thursday.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the auditorium.

“Our job fair brings together our community partners for the purpose of educating, empowering and employing our veterans,” Gloria Smith, event coordinator, said in a release. “One of our veterans’ most important needs is to be gainfully employed, so partnering with local employers is critical.”

Dozens of employers are expected, including Flexsteel, Coca-Cola, the Georgia Department of Corrections, Volunteers of America, Chic-fil-A, Geico, and many others. She encouraged all potential employers of veterans to contact the VA and consider putting veterans to work.

The public is also invited to the event.
