The Vicenza Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program and the Vicenza Army Community Service are partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring our Heroes program, U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Veterans Administration to host a Transition Summit event at the Golden Lion April 22 and 23. The event is focused on engaging transitioning military members and connecting them with resources to ensure their successful transition to post-military life.
On April 22, Vicenza Military Community leaders are invited to participate in a panel discussion with business and government leaders to explore ways to help military members best posture themselves for movement into the civilian sector. Afterward, all community members are invited to participate in a networking reception.
On April 23, all community members -- but particularly the hundreds of service members from our community that are preparing to transition into the civilian workforce within the next 18 months -- are invited to hear directly from military and business leaders in a town hall-style forum about career resources, training and opportunities available to help them as they transition. Workshops will be offered on a variety of topics to include Resume Writing and Interview Skills, Linked In, Military Spouse Employment and Federal Employment.
The 2-day event will culminate with a Hiring our Heroes job fair. More than 20 employers are expected to participate, with employment opportunities and resources both stateside and locally for military members of all ranks and their spouses. Employers who have already committed to be in attendance include: Vinnell Arabia/Northrop Grumman, Fed Ex, Hilton Worldwide and FASTPORT.
