San Bernardino County is prioritizing employment opportunities for both veterans and citizens with forthcoming job fairs. The county's Workforce Development Department, in conjunction with Veterans Affairs, are presenting at two events designed not only to increase employability but also to inform veterans of the resources and benefits entitled to them, as detailed on the county's website.
The first event, the Barstow Job Fair, opens its doors to both veterans and San Bernardino County residents. It is set to take place on Thursday, October 26, from 10 am to 2 pm. The fair expects participation from approximately 30 organizations, all potential employers and resource outlets for job seekers. Veterans can find more information on benefits they earned through military service. By advising job seekers to bring recent resumes, the fair optimizes interaction between industry representatives and candidates, who can register using a provided QR code or online via the county's website.
Another veteran-specific event is Supervisor Curt Hagman's Veteran Claims Event, scheduled on November 8, in Chino Hills. Here, veterans have the opportunity of gaining insight into their existing claims, filing compensation claims, and conducting benefits assessment interviews.
