ANNAPOLIS, MD — Maryland Department of Veterans and Military Families Secretary Anthony Woods joined Fort George G. Meade Garrison Commander Colonel Yolanda Gore on March 19 at a technical job fair. The fair was hosted by the Fort George G. Meade MWR—MDOL / American Job Center, Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation (AAWDC), Transition Assistance Program, Fleet & Family Support Center, and Army Community Service and was open to veterans and other job seekers impacted by recent government layoffs and seeking a new career in the technical field.
Secretary Woods met with veterans interested in information technology, cybersecurity, and software engineering technical fields. Nearly 30 percent of federal workers are veterans and are among those hardest hit by the reduction of the federal workforce.
More than 500 people attended and 35 employers participated. Companies were on hand to evaluate resumes and provide preparation assistance services. DVMF’s Veteran Benefits Specialists were on-site to conduct one-on-one claim consultations with veterans seeking information about VA benefits and services.
