NJWorks@yourlibrary Resources to be Featured at Hiring Our Heroes Event, Trenton

The New Jersey State Library will be giving hands-on demonstrations of the NJWorks@yourlibrary resources available to job seekers at the 4th in a series of Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) job fairs, hosted by the American Legion and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is part of a nationwide effort to help veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment.
Veterans and their spouses are encouraged to take advantage of this event, on Wednesday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., at The Sun Bank Arena, 81 Hamilton Ave., Trenton.
In addition to employers, counselors and representatives will be available from the NJ State Library’s NJWorks@yourlibrary program, New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, NJ Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Vet2Vet, Vet4Warriors, U.S. Veterans Administration, county service officers, and Attorney Generals’ office (for veterans’ civil rights education), to provide veterans with additional information regarding their state and federal benefits.
Representatives from the NJ State Library will be on hand to explain and demonstrate all the resources veterans have available to search for jobs, design and write resumes, and apply for jobs.  With technology assistance from Verizon, computer stations will be set up for attendees to practice using those resources, such as the Job & Career Accelerator, Career Transitions and GED Online. 
The job fair is being hosted by the American Legion, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the NJ Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the NJ Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, the NJ State Library, the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development, NBC News and other local partners.

Veteran job seekers may go to HoH.GreatJob.net to register.

Veterans Job Fair at Brookdale August 27


Friday, 27 July 2012 13:49
Dear Editor;
I am retired from the U.S. Army and currently operations administer at Brookdale Community College. I am coordinating a Veterans Job Fair to be held August 27 at the Brookdale Lincroft main campus. The event also welcomes friends, family and community who are seeking employment or services. It will be held from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. in the Warner Student Life Center.
We have the goal of 100 vendor participants who may attend the event at no charge. To date, the response has been great. We also have workshops such as the New Jersey Small Business Development Center at Brookdale Community College to present on how to start a small business and how to apply for small business loans. NJVet Biz will be conducting a presentation, “Business Assistance for Veterans – Fact vs Fiction.”
We couldn’t do this event without the generous sponsor support of the Jersey Shore Jewish War Veterans Post 125-Ocean Township, the Monmouth County One Stop Career Center Neptune NJ, Monmouth County Workforce Investment Board and the NJSBDC at Brookdale Community College.
If any vendors just learning of this event would like to be part of the Job Fair, Please contact me at 732-224-2068 or e-mail to  jrussell@brookdalecc.edu This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Thank you for your support,
