US VETS, a Career Expo partner since 2018, will return to host Workshops for Veterans to provide free services for veterans who need assistance with job placement and job training.
The expo runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at HawaiiCareerExpo.com, where you can also find the official guidebook. Although the event is free, registration is recommended.
