DAV and RecruitMilitary are holding the Tampa Veterans Job Fair on Thursday, January 28, 2027, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern in Central Hall at the Tampa Convention Center.
The fair is free for transitioning service members, U.S. veterans, military spouses, and National Guard and Reserve members. If you are still in uniform and planning your next step, or you are a spouse looking for work that can keep up with military life, this is a good room to be in.
Twenty-one employers are registered so far, and RecruitMilitary expects more. Early names include Cisco Systems, Truist, JW Marriott Tampa Water Street, New York Life Insurance Company, and Werner Enterprises. The job board lists about 7,000 jobs with attending organizations.
Register ahead so your candidate profile is ready to share with recruiters. Bring printed resumes and be ready to explain how your military skills fit the job in front of you. RecruitMilitary posts prep resources on the event page.
Getting there: use the Franklin Street entrance. Complimentary parking is in the Tampa Convention Center garage at 141 East Brorein St., with overflow at the Fort Brooke Garage at 107 North Franklin St. Both require a validation code, which RecruitMilitary says it will post on the event page.
