Veteran job search skills workshops travel to Amarillo and more West Texas, Panhandle area cities
AUSTIN – The Texas Veterans Commission (TVC) Veterans Employment Services (VES) team’s Off-Base Transition Training (OBTT) West Texas Road Show is on the go again.
OBTT’s goal is to prepare unemployed veterans and their spouses to enter meaningful employment on a long-term basis. The training offers four high-quality workshops covering creating resumes, job fair strategies, networking, how to perform proper introductions with employers and interview skills. This also prepares veterans for job fairs including the upcoming state-wide Hiring Red, White & You! in November, a news release says.
The West Texas OBTT Road Show has the following scheduled stops: Oct. 7 – Amarillo; Oct. 9 – Lubbock; Oct. 11 – Wichita Falls; Oct. 15 – Odessa; Oct. 17 – Abilene; and Oct. 18 – San Angelo. Register for one of these workshops online at OBTT Road Show.
“We wanted to bring the highly effective OBTT classes out of the big city to smaller towns and more rural areas where there are significant concentrations of veterans that might not otherwise receive the training,” said VES West Texas District Manager and Air Force veteran Trey Hubbard.
