HCC Southeast will host its 5th annual Veteran Job Fair and Career Expo on November 6, 2014 to help lower the veteran unemployment rate. Over 50 employers and 10 veteran agencies will be in attendance to assist the anticipated 500 veteran jobseekers. Despite their skills and experience, unemployment remains higher for veterans than civilians, especially newly returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The event aims to connect veterans with employment opportunities through workshops and employer/agency interactions.
