More than four dozen Idaho employers will man
exhibits at the Hiring our Heroes Job Fair
November 9 in Meridian, and they have job
openings they want to fill.
“We are honored to serve the many Idaho men,
women and their families who made tremendous
sacrifices on our behalf,” Idaho Department of
Labor Director Roger B. Madsen said. “The Idaho
soldiers planning to attend this event are
highly trained and have the skills,
professionalism and devotion needed to succeed
in a very competitive labor market.”
The free job fair runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at
the Courtyard by Marriott, 1789 S. Eagle Road.
It is open to veterans, active duty military
members, National Guard and Reserve members and
their spouses. Participating employers must be
committed to a policy of hiring veterans.
Hiring experts say veterans offer employers many
qualities including leadership, teamwork,
performance under pressure, respect for
procedures, integrity and an understanding of
technology and globalization.
The Idaho Department of Labor, U.S. Chamber of
Commerce, the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce
and the Idaho chapter of Employer Support of the
Guard and Reserve are cosponsoring the job fair.
