In a significant initiative aimed at supporting the transition of military personnel to civilian careers, Jammu is set to host a major job fair exclusively for ex-servicemen on December 5. The event promises to connect hundreds of former defense personnel with employment opportunities across various sectors.
Comprehensive Employment Drive for Veterans
The upcoming job fair represents a collaborative effort between multiple government bodies and private sector employers. The Directorate of Sainik Welfare Jammu, in partnership with the Army and District Administration Jammu, has organized this specialized employment event to address the unique career needs of military veterans.
Scheduled to take place at the Baba Jitto Auditorium at the SKUAST-J campus in Chatha, Jammu, the fair will run from 10 am onwards, providing ample time for ex-servicemen to interact with potential employers and explore diverse career options.
Extensive Participation and Opportunities
The employment fair boasts impressive participation numbers, with more than 15 prominent companies and organizations confirmed to attend. These employers are expected to bring over 500 vacancies spanning multiple industries and skill levels.
Colonel S S Pathania, Director of Sainik Welfare Jammu, emphasized the comprehensive nature of the opportunities available. "The job profiles cover security, management, administration, and technical roles," he stated, ensuring that veterans with diverse backgrounds and expertise can find suitable positions matching their qualifications and experience.
Streamlined Registration Process
Organizers have established a straightforward registration process to facilitate maximum participation. Ex-servicemen interested in attending can register through multiple channels for convenience.
Prospective participants can register directly at the Sainik Welfare Office in Jammu or utilize digital registration options. The office has provided contact numbers 0191-2570042 and 9419145314 for additional information and registration assistance.
Colonel Pathania highlighted the importance of pre-registration, noting that "ex-servicemen are encouraged to register in advance to ensure smooth coordination and maximize their opportunities during the event."
Strategic Support for Career Transition
This initiative represents a crucial support mechanism for military personnel transitioning to civilian life. The job fair specifically addresses the challenges ex-servicemen often face when re-entering the civilian workforce, providing a dedicated platform where their unique skills and discipline are recognized and valued.
The collaboration between military institutions, government agencies, and private employers demonstrates a comprehensive approach to veteran welfare and employment. By bringing together a diverse range of employers under one roof, the event significantly streamlines the job search process for ex-servicemen who might otherwise struggle to connect with suitable employers.
This employment fair follows a recognized pattern of support for veterans in the Jammu region, reflecting ongoing commitment to ensuring that those who have served the nation in defense roles receive adequate assistance in building successful post-military careers.
The December 5 event stands as a testament to the continuing efforts to honor the service of military personnel by providing tangible support for their civilian life transitions, ultimately contributing to their financial stability and overall well-being after completing their defense service commitments.
