Meet MDOC and dozens of other employers next Thursday, August 20 at the Augusta Armor. Open to all job seekers.

Are you looking for a new career? Maybe you are transitioning from military service, or just looking for a change?

Maine's annual Hire-A-Vet Campaign is a statewide effort with the goal of at least 100 employers hiring at least 100 veterans and military family members during a 100-day period.

The 2026 campaign kicks off Thursday, August 20, at the Augusta National Guard Armory from 10:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. and will be followed by monthly in-person hiring events throughout the state.

While the campaign is focused on veterans and their families, these events are open to ALL jobseekers!

The Maine Hire-A-Vet campaign provides support and resources to connect veterans with employers through a network of state and federal agencies, resources and nonprofits, education on military language and culture, recruiting and hiring assistance, and recognition for the hiring and advancement of veterans and military family members.
