They need to have meaningful employment opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the inception of DAV\u2019s employment program, \u201cWe\u2019ve had over 294,000 people attend our job fairs,\u201d shared Burgos. \u201cService members have the ability to walk from booth to booth, but what separates our events is the fact that they\u2019re doing on-the-spot Interviews.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Since the employment program was established in 2014, over 175,000 job offers have resulted from DAV-sponsored career fairs. Several events are scheduled nationwide in the coming weeks, including Foxborough, MA, (September 14), Fort Cavazos, TX, (September 20), and Nashville, TN, (September 21).

These service members and military spouses know the importance of time management,\u201d Burgos added. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DAV\u2019s employment program is here to help. The program not only connects transitioning job seekers to employers, it also offers prospective entrepreneurs mentorship and training opportunities through the DAV Patriot Boot Camp.\u00a0 Additionally, the DAV Patriot Employer Program recognizes employers that are committed to hiring Veterans.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s filing a claim or finding employment, \u201cYou know we\u2019re there to assist you every step of the way,\u201d said Burgos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) employment program connects transitioning active duty service members, Veterans, and members of the Guard and Reserve to employment prospects.
