U.S. Reps. promoted upcoming job fair for veterans

Fort Lauderdale, Fla – Employment remains a huge concern for our veterans, particularly those returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. After serving our country honorably and courageously, the last thing our veterans should have to worry about when they finally come home to their loved ones is whether or not they will be able to find a job.

In an effort to help our veterans find employment, U.S. Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20) and Ted Deutch (FL-19) are hosting a veterans job fair on Oct. 6 at the Fort Lauderdale Armory, along with Reps. Alcee Hastings (FL-23) and Frederica Wilson (FL-17).

On Tuesday, September 25, Reps. Wasserman Schultz and Deutch discussed the upcoming jobs fair, including how veterans and their families can prepare before attending and how businesses interested in hiring a hero can participate. They’ll were joined by representatives from the Broward Sheriff’s Office, which is looking to hire veterans and will be on hand at the job fair in October, along with many other local businesses. Lt. Col. Kim McDonald with the Florida Army National Guard was also at the news conference to talk about the Florida Guard Family Career Connection’s success in helping soldiers and airmen find jobs.
