The NAS Jacksonville Veterans Job Fair 2026, hosted at the River Cove Community Center in Jacksonville, Florida on June 4 from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, is a focused in-person hiring event co-produced by the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and RecruitMilitary — two of the most trusted names in veteran employment advocacy. Located adjacent to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, one of the Navy's largest and most active installations in the Southeast, this job fair serves the thousands of transitioning sailors, veterans, and military spouses in the greater Jacksonville metro area with direct access to employers who are actively recruiting and who understand the military talent pool. Jacksonville is home to one of the highest concentrations of active duty and veteran populations in the United States, and this event delivers employment resources directly to that community in a convenient, familiar setting. Participating employers represent a wide range of industries including aerospace and defense, healthcare, logistics, finance, law enforcement, and federal civil service — all of which have demonstrated veteran hiring commitments and active veteran employee resource groups. The four-hour event format is designed for efficiency: veterans can move through the hiring floor at their own pace, engage directly with recruiters, leave resumes, and set up follow-up interviews — all in a single afternoon. DAV benefits advisors will be on site to answer questions about disability claims, hiring preferences, and VA resources. RecruitMilitary career coaches will be available for on-the-spot resume feedback. Admission is free for all veterans and military family members. Dress professionally, bring 15+ copies of your resume, and treat every recruiter conversation as a first interview. Jacksonville's veteran talent is unmatched — show them what you've got.
