These qualities are exactly what our workforce needs and what employers are seeking out in potential candidates," said Commissioner Alexander Mirabella, Liaison to the Veterans' Affairs Committee. "We encourage all resident veterans, military personnel, and their family members seeking career opportunities to join us on August 21^st and explore the available career options."

Our American Job Center provides exceptional support and resources to help someone find a fulfilling career. I hope to see our veteran population there, as we work together to build a stronger, more inclusive workforce in Union County."
