VA Transition Events
Explore your earned VA benefits
Our outreach events, called “Benefits and Hiring Fairs,” help the entire military community- Veterans and transitioning service members, their spouses, family members, caregivers, and survivors– learn about their benefits, file a claim, attend a workshop, and connect with potential employers. The resources offered at VA outreach events provide career training and guidance, hiring opportunities, benefits information, an increased understanding of mental and physical health care options, spouse and caregiver resources, and hands-on help filing benefits claims. Additionally, VA outreach events may include screenings (The Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022) related to burn-pit toxins and burial benefits.
Focus on Benefits and Jobs
Our events are multi-day national conferences that help TSMs, Veterans, family members, and caregivers learn about their VA benefits and connect with career opportunities.
Connection Point
Resources offered at these events lead to an increased understanding of mental and physical health care options, a connection point between spouses and caregivers and VA benefits, hands-on help filing benefits claims, and much more.
