Following a successful virtual Mega Career and Education Fair in October, the Fort Hood Soldier for Life â Transition Assistance Program will once again host the biannual event virtually.
âAt a virtual fair you have the ability to visit all the employers, whereas at a face-to-face event, you are limited to time and fighting the crowds,â Jerry Hernandez, transition services specialist for the SFL-TAP program, said. âThis is a great opportunity to explore a new job, career or higher education.â
The Mega Career and Education Fair will be held virtually from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Jan. 26. Hundreds of employers and colleges are already registered for the event, which is designed to help Soldiers, families, retirees and others find their next career path. SFL-TAP also partnered with the Fort Hood Soldier Development Center to provide opportunities for those seeking a higher education.
