A career fair is scheduled for next week on Fort Campbell.
Fort Campbell and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation will host Hiring Our Heroes Career Summit on Thursday, Oct. 17. from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Personnel Processing Center on Hedge Row Road.
Officials on post say the summit is a collaborative effort to connect service members, military spouses and veterans to meaningful employment opportunities by bringing together key federal and state agencies, military leaders, business innovators and local community leaders to participate in panel discussions, workshops and a hiring fair.
Attendees will be able to meet with more than 90 local, regional and national level employers at the career fair. Participants will also get a LinkedIn premium membership with headshots and a class on how to navigate the site efficiently.
Keynote speakers include retired General David Petraeus, a former 101st Airborne Division commander, and retired Command Sergeant Major Marvin Hill.
Interested job seekers can pre-register online at hiringourheroes.org/events. The website also allows individuals to upload resumes for review. On-site registration begins at 8 a.m.
