The Central Florida Veteran Resource & Job Fair 2026 is one of the largest and most comprehensive veteran-focused events in the state of Florida, bringing together hundreds of veteran job seekers with top employers, benefits providers, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies at the Orange County Convention Center North Hall in Orlando on May 14, 2026.
Central Florida is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the United States, and the need for quality career transition and benefits access resources has never been greater. This event serves veterans, transitioning service members, National Guard and Reserve members, and military spouses from across the I-4 corridor and beyond.
The event features a major employer expo with 80+ veteran-friendly companies and government agencies actively recruiting, a benefits village where VA specialists, state veterans' services representatives, and nonprofit advocates provide one-on-one assistance with claims, education benefits, healthcare enrollment, and more, a career services zone with resume review, LinkedIn optimization, and interview coaching, and specialized tracks for healthcare, cybersecurity, federal employment, law enforcement, and skilled trades.
For veterans who feel like their military experience isn't translating to civilian career opportunities — this event exists to change that. Employers here understand what military service means: discipline, leadership, adaptability, mission focus. They're not just veteran-friendly by policy; they're here because they want to hire you.
Admission is completely free for all veterans and job seekers. Business casual or professional attire recommended. Bring multiple resume copies. Free parking is available at the convention center. This is the Central Florida veteran career event of the year — don't miss it.
