Hiring Our Heroes, a program of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, was launched in March 2011 as a nationwide initiative to help veterans and military spouses find meaningful employment. Working with The American Legion and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s vast network of state and local chambers and other strategic partners from the public, private, and non-profit sectors, the goal is to create a movement across America in hundreds of communities where veterans and military families return every day. Hiring Our Heroes has hosted more than 660 hiring fairs in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. As of January 2014, Hiring Our Heroes has helped 240,000 veterans and military spouses find employment; more than 21,600 hires have resulted directly from hiring fairs such as this one.
