🔥 Who This Veterans Job Fair Is For

The Pikes Peak Workforce Center pitches this one at three groups at once: people transitioning out of active duty, veterans already working their second career, and anyone else exploring what is out there. In a metro anchored by Fort Carson, Peterson and Schriever Space Force bases and the Air Force Academy, plenty of employers recruit that background on purpose.

Civilians should not read "veterans" in the title as a closed door. The organizer's own event page says everyone is welcome to come talk in person with hiring managers who are ready to hire. USAA is listed as a sponsor.

One note for returning attendees: the 2025 edition gave military and veterans a head start before the public. This year's listing does not mention a split entry window, so plan around 10 a.m.

💼 Who Will Be There

The workforce center has posted its employer list, and it runs well past a hundred names. A sampling, by the kind of work you might be after:

Defense, space and federal: Kratos Defense, Fluor, Quantum Research International, NORAD & USNORTHCOM J14, the 50th CES at Schriever SFB, AAFES, Department of Energy, USPS
Law enforcement and public safety: Colorado Springs Police Department, El Paso County Sheriff's Office, Colorado State Patrol, FBI Denver, U.S. Secret Service, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Denver Fire Department

Rosters change up to the morning of a fair, so check the organizer's full list before you go. "Up to 150" is the organizer's ceiling. No admission price is posted on the event page; confirm at (719) 667-3700 if cost is a factor.

✅ How to Show Up Ready

The workforce center asks attendees to create or update a Connecting Colorado account before the event. It is the state's job-matching system.

The center is also running résumé review sessions one or more days before the fair. If you are translating an MOS, AFSC or rating into civilian terms, book that appointment. It is far easier to fix a résumé the week before than at a folding table.

Bring:

Fifteen or more printed résumés, one page if you can manage it
Photo ID
Your clearance level and investigation date, if you hold one
Certifications and license numbers: CDL, CompTIA, nursing, trade cards
