ANCHORAGE, Alaska — The annual Alaska Veterans & Military Spouses Job Fair will be held virtually this year over a three-week period, Nov. 9-27, 2020.

This free online event connects veterans, military spouses, and Alaska residents with employment and occupational training opportunities. Employers include federal, state, and municipal entities along with representatives from the construction, healthcare, oil & gas, financial, and transportation industries.

The hiring event will take place on the Alaska Virtual Job Fair (VJF) Platform. Job seekers can access the event via https://jobs.alaska.gov/jobfairs/virtual.html. This online experience will offer the same opportunities of a traditional job fair, from the safety of the job seeker’s home.Job seekers will have the chance to meet with prospective employers live via video chat. This job fair is open to the general public. Job seekers are encouraged to have a virtual copy of their resume and references available to provide to employers.
