LATHAM, NY, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Albany Job Fair returns Wednesday, September 10, 2025, from 1pm to 6pm, with a 1-2pm Veterans Hour at the Holiday Inn Express, 400 Old Loudon Road, Latham, NY. This month’s Albany Job Fair features more than 50 recruiting companies from across the Capital Region, offering job seekers access to local and regional employment opportunities from entry level to C Level executives, across a wide range of industries.

The Albany Job Fair will open early at 1 pm to allow veterans time with the recruiters before the general public enters at 2 pm. “We feel that our vets have given a great deal to this country and we want to honor them,” said Darcy Knapp, event founder and organizer. Also present during the Veterans Hour will be PTSD dogs from Hudson Valley PAWS Therapy Dogs provided by the American Red Cross of Eastern New York.

"Albany Job Fair dedicating time and resources to those who served our country which shows they understand the value of our veterans' skills and experience and truly appreciate their sacrifices. Employers who are looking for disciplined, principled employees will find them during veterans hour," said NYS Senator Jake Ashby.

“I’m honored to support the Albany Job Fair and its powerful commitment to helping our veterans secure good-paying jobs that allow them to apply their valuable skills and dedication to roles that serve our communities. The men and women who’ve worn our nation’s uniform have served with honor and courage, and we owe it to them to ensure they have access to meaningful career opportunities as they reenter civilian life. By giving veterans early access to this event, the Albany Job Fair is making a clear and powerful statement: your service is appreciated, and your future is important. Connecting veterans with employers who understand their value is one of the smartest investments we can make in both our workforce and our community," said Congressman Paul D. Tonko.

“I would like to commend the Albany Job Fair for once again dedicating the first hour of the event exclusively for Veterans. It’s a powerful way to show respect for those who have served and to make sure they have access to everything the fair has to offer. It’s also a great time of year to look for a job as employers get ready to enter the last quarter of the year and prepare for the holiday season,” said Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy.

"Helping our veterans find meaningful employment is one of the most important ways we can honor their service,” said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara. “These brave men and women have the skills, discipline, and dedication that make them invaluable members of our workforce. Job fairs like this one not only connect veterans to great career opportunities but also remind them that their service is respected and appreciated long after their uniforms are retired."
