Anchorage residents who have served in the armed forces, their spouses and other Alaskans looking for steady employment will have a prime opportunity on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2026. From 1 to 4 p.m., the Muldoon Family Center—also known as Muldoon Mall—at 1251 Muldoon Road will host a Veterans Career Fair organized by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD).
Robust employer participation
Nearly 50 employers, education and training providers, and registered apprenticeship programs have confirmed they will attend. Representatives from federal, state and municipal agencies will be on hand, along with private‑sector employers from key Alaskan industries such as construction, health care, oil and gas, finance and transportation. Job seekers can expect to meet recruiters, learn about available positions, and explore pathways to certification or on‑the‑job training.
Why the fair matters for veterans and families
Commissioner Catherine Muñoz of DOLWD emphasized the unique strengths veterans bring to the workforce. “Alaska’s veterans and military families bring unparalleled dedication, skills, and leadership to our workforce,” she said. “We are proud to support their transition into meaningful careers and to partner with employers who recognize the tremendous value these individuals contribute to our state and the workforce.”
The department highlighted traits commonly found among service members—leadership, teamwork, dependability, integrity and the ability to perform under pressure—as assets that employers value highly. By connecting these qualities with local hiring needs, the fair aims to foster long‑term, stable employment for those who have served.
How to make the most of the event
The career fair is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to dress professionally, bring multiple copies of their résumé and be prepared for on‑the‑spot interviews. DOLWD staff will also be available to offer résumé reviews, interview tips and information about state‑run training programs.
For additional details, job seekers can contact the DOLWD Business Connections team at (907) 269‑4777 or via email at [email protected]. The department plans to continue hosting similar events throughout the year to ensure veterans and military families have ongoing access to quality job opportunities.
