Hampton Roads has maintained a special and specific position for some time with an economy that relies on its huge military presence within its boundaries. But, as some have argued, this dependency has its drawbacks.
So, one would think that would put private businesses here in a good spot to hire those exiting the military. These are prospective employees with a distinct skill set, after all, and the Hampton Roads Workforce Council was told there are 8,000 people transitioning out of the military here every year.
But, until now, there has been little coordination to connect employers and these job seekers outside of job fairs.
The Veteran's Career Compass, an online job site reserved for job-seeking veterans, aims to bridge the hiring gap.
