Workforce Solutions South Plains, in partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission and the Texas Veterans Commission, will host the 11th Annual Hiring Red, White & You! Statewide Hiring Fair, which is a joint initiative supported by the office of the Governor, the Texas Medical Center, and the TVC to connect veterans and their spouses in Texas with employers seeking the exceptional skills of veterans and their spouses.
“Texas is home to 1.5 million veterans, the largest population of veterans in any state in the country,” said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. “Veterans have the skills, training, and leadership tools necessary to make significant contributions to the civilian workforce and a positive impact on the Texas economy.”
The hiring event is free to attend and assists veterans, ser-vice members and their spouses as they seek their next career opportunity. Employers participate at no cost and are encouraged to register by November 4 by contacting Danny Soliz at (806) 744-1987. Since 2012, Hiring Red, White & You! has served 20,131 employers, connected 114,778 job seekers to meaningful job opportunities, and facilitated 3,198 same-day hires.
This year, our event will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2022 from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. Priority entrance for veterans and service members will be from 10am to 11am and then it will be open to the public starting at 11am. There is no cost to attend and no need to register in advance.
