Veteran from across the region will gather in Martinsburg Thursday for the Veterans Career Fair and Business Opportunity Summit. Organizers held a press conference Tuesday to go over the highlights of the event, which will aid veterans in finding employment and identifying business opportunities. National Employment Officer for the Military Order of the Purple Heart Don Nichols said he has always thought the VA had the capacity to hold events on this scale, and he hopes the model can be used in other areas of the country as well.

One of the hardships right now has been the downturn in the economy. Vocational Rehab Specialist for the Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans Robin Wilson was credited with much of the organization behind the event. She said despite fewer private sector businesses participating they still have around forty businesses participating on Thursday, including representatives from educational institutions, service providers and the government.

Thursday’s Summit will also offer opportunities to veterans interested in starting a business or expanding a business. Nichols said that Veterans often are not aware of what benefits they have and so the summit will be especially useful to men and women returning from Iraq and Afghanistan who may be new to the military.

The Summit is sponsored by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, the Martinsburg VA Medical Center and WorkForce West Virginia in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Department of Labor and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Nichols said that each has played an important role in bringing the program to fruition, and anticipated a good turn out for the event.

The event is scheduled for Thursday June 25th at the VA Medical Center in martinbsurg from 9:30am until 3:00pm.
