WHAT: Join us for the annual Veterans Appreciation Day and Job Fair to honor and support the veterans of Orange County. Sponsored by the City of Santa Ana- WORK Center and Employment Development Department, the event will allow veteran-friendly employers to screen and hire qualified veterans. Over 30 employers will be in attendance, including: AAA, Behr, Toms Truck, UC Irvine, Verengo Solar, Verizon Wireless, Vons, and Wells Fargo.
WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 14. The event begins at 8:30 a.m. with a flag-raising ceremony, followed by the job fair that runs until noon. The event is free and open to the public.
WHERE: Santa Ana Train Station, 1000 East Santa Ana Blvd., Santa Ana. Free parking.
