SAN ANTONIO--Are you a Soldier transitioning from active duty and looking for your next job? A veteran? Or a Family member wanting to continue your career? Garrison Army Career and Alumni Program and Army Community Service offices support hundreds of job fairs on or near our installations every year. Here is a list of events for transitioning Soldiers, veterans and Family members coming up in the next three months.

To find out about other events or all the services ACAP offers, visit the ACAP website at www.acap.army.mil/ or contact an ACAP center at www.acap.army.mil/acap-centers.aspx.htm.

Hiring our Heroes is a U.S. Chamber of Commerce program. Their job fairs bring together a range of organizations--including private industry, the Department of Labor, the Veterans Administration, the Small Business Administration and state workforce commissions--all focused on connecting transitioning Soldiers and vets with employment opportunities. H2H is an Army website that helps transitioning Soldiers and vets connect with 50,000 employers who have vowed to employ them.
