Our Veterans Team is packed up and ready to head north to Aroostook County for the second of our four stops on this year’s campaign. Come out to the University of Maine Presque Isle next week to meet with over 45 employers and resource providers. If you are looking for employment or perhaps a career upgrade, this is a don’t miss event. Veterans needing services, we have you covered as well with several federal and local resource providers on hand. Need a haircut? We have you covered on that too. Norseman Barbering Company will be providing FREE haircuts to Veterans and military personnel.
