The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is hosting its annual Veteran Employment Information Event on Jan. 9 in St. Paul.
Veterans will have the opportunity to talk to DNR staff, including those who work in the areas of fisheries and wildlife, information technology, GIS and mapping, forestry, enforcement, engineering and more. Veterans will learn the types of jobs available, education and experience requirements, and how a military career fits with state employment.
Human resources staff will provide information on how to apply for DNR jobs, set up job searches and receive job posting notifications.
“If you’ve served in the military, you probably have a lot of experience relevant to many of our professional areas,” said Don Matthys, DNR management resources regional supervisor and U.S. Army, retired.
This event is free and will be held at the DNR Headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road N., St. Paul. Veterans will receive a welcome packet with additional information when registration is confirmed.
