Rep. Lipinski Hosts Vets Jobs Fair

Rep. Dan Lipinski (IL-3) on Nov. 18 hosted a Veterans Jobs Fair with the Village of Romeoville and the Romeoville Veterans Commission. More than 70 companies interested in hiring veterans were on hand to accept applications and talk with local veterans about job possibilities. Those who could not make it are welcome to contact any of the congressman’s offices at any time for assistance. Rep. Lipinski also will be hosting a Veterans Fair in Oak Lawn on Dec. 10. Please visit lipinski.house.gov for more information.

 “Connecting veterans with job opportunities is the least we can do for the service these brave men and women provided our country. I was truly impressed with the turnout, the quality of those seeking jobs and the character of the companies that value the skills veterans bring to the table. I am extremely proud to have helped many of these veterans get a foot in the door to a new job.”
