Resource Partners
|
The Museum’s programs for veterans and military families have a nationwide reputation for welcoming veterans of all service eras, branches of the military and backgrounds. These programs deepen the Museum’s commitment to the veteran community and raise the public’s awareness of the challenges facing veterans. We offer these programs at no cost for an ever-expanding audience. Attendees, NGO partners and government agencies are welcome to participate in the Veterans Job & Resource Fair with advanced registration for free.
Our goal is to connect veterans and their spouses with resources that are available to them throughout the five boroughs and beyond, including job search, interview and networking skills, employment opportunities, financial services, education opportunities, and more.
Resource partners will be given an exhibitor booth free of charge.

Job Recruitment and Networking

The Veterans Job & Resource Fair will include actively recruiting organizations that are committed to hiring veterans and supporting military families. Organizations will be able to recruit for open positions, network with job seekers and showcase their programs built to support veterans and their families.
Organizations may participate in workshops offered to attendees.
