Exceptional Organizations Connecting with Exceptional Talent
Philadelphia City Council has declared 2014 the Year of the Veteran
You’re invited to participate in an a truly amazing opportunity that connects EXCEPTIONAL Union League member organizations with EXCEPTIONAL Veterans, service members, and their families.
In 2014, with dedication to the motto “Love of Country Leads” and to support those who have served this country, Union League members formed the Veterans Initiative. As a keystone program of the Veterans Initiative, the Union League Veterans Job Fair provides a special opportunity for Veterans to connect one-on-one with business leaders from throughout the Philadelphia region. The event is designed to spark conversations and build relationships that bring the specialized skill sets of Veterans to our business community.
More than 100,000 Veterans call the Delaware Valley their home. Yet, the unemployment rate of Veterans remains higher than that of the national average for all citizens. This event offers a tremendous opportunity for Veterans and their families to receive help transitioning into the civilian workforce, while providing organizations access to some of the premier talent in the region.
