Why This Veterans Job Fair Matters in San Antonio

San Antonio did not earn the Military City USA nickname by accident. Joint Base San Antonio stretches across Fort Sam Houston, Lackland and Randolph, and a steady stream of airmen, soldiers and medics is always working out what civilian work looks like. Hiring Red, White & You! is the statewide answer to that question, held each fall by workforce boards across Texas.

The partner list is heavyweight: the Texas Workforce Commission, the Texas Veterans Commission, the Texas Medical Center, the Governor's Office and the state's 28 local workforce boards. The venue fits the theme, too. Tech Port sits on the grounds of Port San Antonio, the old Kelly Air Force Base, now a campus of aerospace, defense and tech employers just off U.S. 90.

⚠️ Read This Before You Go

  • The first hour is not for everyone. From 9 to 10 a.m., the room belongs to veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses. Everyone else should plan to arrive at 10.
  • No ticket, no entry. The organizer asks every attendee to show an Eventbrite ticket, printed or on a phone.
  • The employer list has not been published. Employers attend by invitation, and no roster or headcount had been released as of this writing. Go in ready to talk about your skills broadly rather than counting on one company being there.
  • This page is for job seekers. Employers cannot sign up through the public ticket. Current Workforce Solutions Alamo partners go through their Business Solutions rep, and others can email business_services@wsalamo.org.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Workforce Solutions Alamo's instructions are short: bring an updated resume and dress professionally. If your resume still reads like an evaluation report, fix that before November 9. Translate ranks and MOS codes into civilian terms, lead with certifications and clearances, and keep it to one or two pages. Free resume and interview help is available at any Workforce Solutions Alamo career center before the event, or by calling (210) 224-4357.

🔎 Where to Aim Before November 9
