Fort Riley will be hosting a Hiring Heroes Career Fair next Wednesday at Riley’s Conference Center.

The career fair is open to the public but the Career Fair’s Organizer, Kristen Springer explained that it is geared towards the wounded, ill, injured, transitioning soldiers and their spouses.

“It’s open to anyone but there’s going to be employers looking to hire Veteran’s and those who have served,” said Springer.

The career fair will feature a number of Department of Defense Agencies including the Army and Air Force Exchange Services, Irwin Army Community Hospital Military Spouse Employment Partnership, The Department of Veterans Affairs and many more.

Those who attend are seeking employment are recommended to bring with them a resume and be dressed for an interview.

“As you go up to each table you’re going to want to have something planned to really sell yourself, so they may want to at least talk to you more, reach out to you and possibly do an interview on the spot.”

Springer said that some of the employers may even be able to hire someone on the spot.

The Hiring Heroes Career Fair is being held Wednesday, April 22nd, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Riley’s Conference Center.
