NV One-Stop partners with the Armed Forces Chamber




The Armed Forces Chamber and NV One-Stop proudly hosted a successful Veterans Resource Fair on November 5, 2019, in North Las Vegas. The event, held at the Aliante Library, 2400 Deer Springs Way, provided invaluable resources for veterans and military spouses seeking new job opportunities. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., attendees had the chance to connect with local employers, participate in a mock-interview session, and explore a variety of career development resources.

The highlight of the event was the opening of a permanent One-Stop Career Center inside the Aliante Library. This new resource offers veterans and military spouses essential employment and training assistance at no cost, helping them navigate common challenges when transitioning from military to civilian careers.

“Many times, veterans have trouble translating their military skills into civilian skills on resumes or during interviews,” said Andre’ Haynes, Founder and CEO of the Armed Forces Chamber. "The Veterans Resource Fair provided support to address this issue, helping veterans effectively showcase their skills and experience to potential employers. We give special thanks to Bonita Fahy for making this Fair possible."

In addition to networking and on-site interviews with employers, the fair featured a mock-interview session from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees had the opportunity to practice their job interview techniques and receive feedback from industry professionals.

Several guest speakers from across the valley also shared their insights on career development and resources available to veterans and their families. Veterans attending the event were encouraged to bring military identification, such as a Military ID, VA ID Card, or DD-214 Form.
