CareerSource Gulf Coast, in partnership with the Military & Family Readiness Center at Tyndall Air Force Base, is proud to announce the Tyndall Job Fair. This event will connect the military community with leading employers from various industries, offering a unique opportunity to explore career prospects and training opportunities and meet with hiring managers.
The job fair will take place on Thursday, September 25, 2025, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Horizons Club, Ballroom B, located at 209 Louisiana Ave, Tyndall AFB. The event is open to local job seekers with base access and no pre-registration is required. The event is ideal for active-duty service members, veterans, retirees, reservists, guard, DoD civilian employees, and military spouses of active-duty service members.
This event comes at a critical time for the region’s workforce. Recent research from the University of West Florida Haas Center highlights the immense value of the local military community, showing that an average of 5,200 service members transition out of Northwest Florida’s military installations each year. This represents a significant and highly skilled talent pool for area employers.
“As part of the American Job Center Network and partners in Florida’s workforce system, we are deeply committed to serving our military community,” said Kim Bodine, Executive Director of CareerSource Gulf Coast. “The Haas Center’s research confirms what we have known all along: this is an incredibly valuable talent pool that comes preloaded with the mission-ready skills and business-ready results employers need. With nearly 60% of the area’s transitioning service members holding a bachelor’s degree or higher and over 47% intending to remain in the region, it is vital to create pathways for them to connect with local careers.”
