  • Federal Employment Presentation by Brian Grubb (Newark One-Stop)
    Veterans – we have a special opportunity to host an exceptional one time only federal
         employment presentation.  On Thursday, June 23, 2011 at 1 PM, Brian Grubb the Veterans
          Employment Coordinator for two Service Regions which covers 8 states will be our presenter.  

         Brian’s mission is threefold:

    1) Attract, recruit and hire veterans into the Veterans Administration (VA)
    2) Ensure hiring managers and supervisors are thoroughly aware of special authorities to hire Vets.
         3) Open opportunities to Veteran Employment and ensure that Veterans are able to
        successfully enter the Veteran’s Administration workforce as well as other federal agencies.

         Brian travels a great deal.  He works diligently with individual Veterans to help them complete
          the recruitment process.  His knowledge and advocacy is invaluable.  As an exceptional
          facilitator he will provide priceless information on the federal resume and federal application
    process.

    Join us on the Newark Campus of Ohlone College at 39399 Cherry Street in Newark,
    Room 1211 at 1:00 pm.  Please arrive approximately thirty (30) minutes earlier to receive a
    FREE parking pass.

    We are encouraging each of you Veterans receiving this to make a diligent effort to bring
    three more Vets to this special workshop. Thank you for your support!
