Governor Pat McCrory’s efforts to make North Carolina the most military and veteran-friendly state in the nation are expanding to include the North Carolina Department of Information Technology. The department will hold two job fairs at Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune as part of the N.C. Military Pipeline Project, a public-private partnership launched by Governor McCrory in May 2015 to help veterans find employment in North Carolina.
“Veterans combine 21st century skills and training with a dedication to duty that originates with our nation’s founding,” said Governor McCrory. “The skills that these service members have acquired through their years in the military will prove invaluable to the Department of Information Technology as we work toward the goal of making government more user-friendly for all North Carolinians.”
Job fairs will be held at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville on February 10 and at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville on February 19. Both sessions will take place from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Several employees of the Department of Information Technology who are military veterans and the Director of Human Resources will be present at both job fairs to answer questions service members may have about potential employment opportunities.
“Technology jobs are the manufacturing jobs of the future, and I cannot imagine a better qualified group of talent to help further Governor McCrory’s vision of using technology to be more efficient and effective for the citizens we serve,” said State CIO Keith Werner.
Military service members interested in working with the Department of Information Technology after they separate from their branch of service should consult with their Transition Readiness Office or the department's Human Resources Office.
