Veterans are STARs. Let’s open more doors. 🇺🇸⭐

Did you know that 61% of veterans in the workforce are STARs—Skilled Through Alternative Routes? That’s 4.4 million veterans bringing leadership, adaptability, and real-world experience to civilian jobs.

These are skills earned through service—not just a degree. By removing unnecessary degree requirements and expanding skills-first pathways, we can unlock opportunity and upward mobility for those who’ve served.

It’s time to recognize their strengths and build a more inclusive, STAR-powered workforce.

I'd invest in a professional networking app that allows people to ask questions and share personal updates, photos of pets/vacations, etc. We all work remote, so that would help us feel more closely connected.

As we wave a fond farewell to 2024, let's look forward to new opportunities in the coming year! That's right, January brings us a new batch of job fairs across the nation!

Below is a list of upcoming job fairs in the Los Angeles area. You'll notice that there are quite a few exciting opportunities for expanding your purview.

For Jobcasers outside of Los Angeles, be sure to search Eventbrite for job fairs in your area. Remember, job fairs are excellent ways to get cut through the applicaiton waiting game and jump start your next career.

Connecting in-person, and getting your resume in a hiring managers hand is far more direct than sending your resume to a massive inbox!

Best of luck this year, fellow Jobcasers!

One potential challenge of working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs could be the complex bureaucracy that comes with working for a large government organization. To navigate these challenges, it's important to build strong relationships with colleagues and supervisors, stay informed on policies and procedures, and seek out professional development opportunities. Utilizing resources such as Jobcase, along with other job search providers, can also help connect you to job opportunities within the Department of Veterans Affairs or other organizations that support veterans.
