CareerSource Central Florida will help match veterans with more than 100 jobs during the Central Florida Disability Chamber of Commerce Veterans Business Initiative.
CareerSource Central Florida is partnering with the Central Florida Disability Chamber of Commerce, Florida Hospital and Manpower to sponsor the eight-week program, which will provide job training, computer and financial education, networking opportunities and a job matching program for veterans.
Veterans will attend three-hour workshops twice a week, from May 1 to June 27, to help them transition from unemployment to full-time jobs. Participants can choose which sessions to attend but must be present at one session each week. There is no charge for the program, which is funded by Florida Hospital and Manpower.
Participating sponsors will hold workshops such as Lockheed Martin’s “Mock Interviews,” where the company’s managers will practice one-on-one interviews with veterans and critique their skills. Florida Hospital will hold site tours at the hospital designed to meet the veterans’ job interests. And SCORE will hold a session on starting your own business.
