Skills and discipline acquired in military are readily translatable to the civilian job market, and that was the focus of the recent “Red, White and You!” job fair in Lubbock.
More than 60 employers gathered a few days after Veterans Day to recruit employees with military backgrounds.
It was part of the second statewide veterans-only job fairs hosted by the Texas Workforce Commission and Texas Veterans Commission.
Discipline, training, commitment, experience and dependability were some of the positive qualities of veterans mentioned by employers at the fair.
