BOSTON, MA—The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the Boston Red Sox, along with lead sponsor Call of Duty Endowment (CODE) and GE, will host the “Hiring Our Heroes – Boston,” a hiring fair for active duty military, veterans, members of the National Guard and reserve components, and military spouses. More than 35 employers are expected to participate with jobs available for veterans and military spouses of all ranks and levels of experience. Companies range from America's biggest employers to dozens of small companies from the region. Job seekers who pre-register for this hiring fair will be issued a game ticket from participating employers for that evening’s game between the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. To receive a ticket at the fair entrance, proof of service (e.g., military ID, DD Form 214) and photo ID are required. The event will also include a free GE employment workshop that features one-on-one mentoring sessions on resume building, resume writing, and interviewing techniques for all job-seekers. Since Hiring Our Heroes began in March 2011, more than 1,500 companies have hired 23,000 veterans and military spouses as a result of more than 700 hiring fairs. In March 2012, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Capital One launched Hiring 500,000 Heroes, a national campaign to engage the business community in committing to hire half a million veterans and military spouses by the end of 2014. Thus far, more than 1,500 businesses of all sizes have pledged to hire 411,000 heroes toward this goal. To date, 255,000 hires have been confirmed toward this goal.
