The Fort Campbell Career Summit, presented by Hiring Our Heroes, is a comprehensive career transition event serving the soldiers, veterans, and military spouses of one of the Army's most storied installations — home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and thousands of the Army's most elite soldiers. Taking place April 30, 2026 at Fort Campbell, Kentucky/Tennessee, this summit is designed to honor the extraordinary talent leaving Fort Campbell by connecting them directly with America's top employers.
Soldiers separating from Fort Campbell include some of the most highly trained, combat-tested, and mission-capable individuals in the world. Air Assault qualified soldiers, Special Forces, combat aviation crews, logistics and sustainment professionals, military police, and intelligence analysts — all carry skills that translate directly into premium civilian career opportunities. Hiring Our Heroes has built the ideal platform to help these soldiers make that translation effectively.
The Fort Campbell Career Summit combines employer expo networking with professional development workshops, including military-to-civilian resume writing, interview preparation, LinkedIn optimization, and industry-specific career panels. Employers at the summit are specifically chosen because they understand military culture, value military experience, and have demonstrated records of successfully integrating veterans into their workforces.
Industries represented include federal contracting, law enforcement, aviation, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, cybersecurity, and government services. Many employers offer sign-on bonuses, clearance-friendly roles, and accelerated advancement tracks for veterans.
Military spouses are a central part of the Fort Campbell Career Summit, with dedicated resources addressing the real challenges of portable careers in a military lifestyle. Admission is free. Register at hiringourheroes.org and come ready to meet employers who are worthy of your service record.
