The remaining VETERAN/MILITARY SPOUSE applications will be shared with our HR committee for hiring consideration and will be invited to our Des Plaines Chamber “Fall into a New Career” Career Fair on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.

Since the program started in 2017, they have had over (140) Veterans graduate, and many of them have gone on to find meaningful careers in our area.
