Serving Those Who Served event connects veterans with resources

The "Serving Those Who Served" event, set for July 15, 2025, at the Yakima Convention Center, aims to connect veterans with critical resources for employment and job security. Organized by the Employment Security Department in collaboration with Washington State University, the conference will provide veterans with access to various services designed to aid their transition into the workforce. The event will feature workshops, informational booths, and networking opportunities tailored to the needs of veterans. This initiative reflects a broader commitment to supporting those who have served in the military. Local veterans are encouraged to attend to explore available programs and services.

Yakima County has seen an increasing number of veterans seeking employment, making this event particularly timely. The efforts by local government and educational institutions emphasize the importance of community support for veterans. The conference aims to empower veterans with the tools necessary for successful reintegration into civilian life.
