"Alaska is proud to have the highest per capita population of military veterans in the nation, with more than 10% of our adult residents having served in uniform," said Commissioner Catherine Muñoz of the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Their service to our nation deserves our deepest respect, and our continued support, as they build successful civilian careers."

This job fair is designed to connect veterans, military spouses and all Alaskans with employment and occupational training opportunities. Participating employers and representatives will include those from the federal, state and municipal sectors, as well as key industries such as construction, healthcare, oil and gas, finance and transportation.
