There are more than 18 million veterans across the United States—and many of them, along with military spouses, are currently unemployed—or, in other cases, underemployed or undereducated.
The transition to civilian or corporate employment has its own challenges, as well—challenges that must be addressed in order to ensure our veteran and military populations can find their fit within our workforce. From identifying potential gaps in the hiring process to translating skills and even navigating the emotional pulls of discouragement and motivation, the Veteran Employment Summit was designed to address all challenges associated with the transition process, as well as uncover opportunities for job-seeking veterans and military spouses and employee-seeking companies.
This free conference, held on Friday, September 13, 2024, will focus on transition employment—for transitioning service members, veterans and military spouses. All attendees will have access to a free CareerChoice GPS Career Assessment, courtesy of SmartWork Network. Hiring companies are invited to attend.
THE LOCATION:
Welcome to Greer, South Carolina!
Greer? Where the heck is Greer?
It may seem a little...out there...but the reality is that the gorgeous little city of Greer has everything you could want in a destination city—walkable downtown, great parks, incredible lodgings and some of the best places to eat and connect around.
But more than that, Greer sits exactly halfway between two larger hubs—Greenville (voted Best Place to Live...and Visit...and Stay...by everyone from CNN to Travel & Leisure and even Southern Living), and Spartanburg, with it's incredible artistic communities, outdoor spaces, and a lot more.
With it's foot just off of two major highways and within minutes of GSP International Airport, this area is known for its bustling economy—and serves as home to companies like Michelin, BMW Manufacturing, Draxelmeier, Adidas, ZF, North American Rescue, Milliken and more.
Reasons You Should Join us at
THE 2024 VET SUMMIT
The RECON Network's 2024 VET SUMMIT is a great way to hear expert insights, build your network, connect with hiring companies and learn more about the transition process.
BOTH LIVE AND VIRTUAL OPTIONS
After four years on our virtual event platform, the 2024 VET Summit will once again be in-person!

FREE CAREER ASSESSMENT FOR JOB SEEKERS
For job-seeking veterans and military spouses who register, The RECON Network is committed to provide a free CareerChoice GPS assessment, courtesy of our sponsor, SmartWork Network. This highly-predictive assessment is what we use in all our services to help seekers find their "natural" job fit.
BUILD A NETWORK THAT WORKS
If you're looking to connect with job seekers, leaders from local Veteran Service Organizations or with companies who are looking to hire and retain service members in their companies, you've come to the right place! Of course, even if that's not your goal, you'll still have a great time here!
INSIGHTS FROM THOSE WHO KNOW
From Paralympians to the "Top Brass" at a number of different veteran- and military-focused organizations, The RECON Network has speakers who know what they are talking about. The best part? It's not all about the job search; it's about you rediscovering "you" in a different way after service.
WHY SPONSOR THE VET SUMMIT?
If your company is hiring veterans, you have a product or service you want to get into the post-military community, or you just want to show some love to the post-military community and support causes that serve them, we’d love to have you as a sponsor of this event!
