About Event

This event is open to the public!

Welcome to Maine's Statewide Virtual Hire-A-Vet Event! We are excited to bring you this innovative and impactful event that begins the mission to connect 100 veterans with 100 employers in just 100 days. Our goal is to support our brave and dedicated veterans by helping them find meaningful employment opportunities and resource providers.


This virtual job fair is a unique platform that allows job seekers and employers to interact and connect in a convenient and efficient manner. With the current state of the world, virtual events have become the new norm and we are proud to utilize this technology to bring together employers, resources, and job seekers from all over the state of Maine.


Our event will take place on July 24th, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EST. This event is open to all job seekers and employers in Maine, regardless of their location. No need to travel - you can participate from the comfort of your own home or office.


The Maine Hire-A-Vet campaign is a statewide initiative that aims to connect veterans with job opportunities in various industries. Our platform capabilities allow job seekers to browse and apply for job postings, as well as engage in live chat sessions with employers and resource providers. This creates an interactive and engaging experience for all, making it easier to find the perfect match.


For employers, this is a great opportunity to tap into a highly skilled and motivated talent pool. Veterans bring unique skills, experience, and dedication to the workplace, making them valuable assets to any organization. By participating in this event, you are not only supporting our veterans but also gaining access to top-notch candidates for your company.


We invite all employers, veterans, and civilian job seekers in Maine to join us for this exciting event. Let's work together to achieve our goal of hiring 100 veterans in 100 days with 100 employers. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you there!
