Ameren to hold military-focused career fair
The very first Show-Me
Heroes Employer Spotlight career event will take place at Fort Leonard Wood on
May 20, 2014. Ameren, a St. Louis-based energy company that supports efficiency and renewable energy efforts, will be the
spotlight business at this fair, seeking engineers and nuclear security
officers.
The Show-Me Heroes Employer
Spotlight provides employers the opportunity to present their organization and
opportunities for those leaving the military at Fort Leonard Wood or seeking
employment in the civilian industry.
“In this case, Ameren
has great opportunities for engineers and highly qualified security personnel,”
noted
Jonathan Barry, Show-Me Heroes Director. “Fort Leonard Wood is home to both.
Based on the open positions, Fort Leonard Wood is a natural fit and perfect
chance to test the concept.”
The event is scheduled
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 20 in Thurman Hall, Bldg. 3203, Room 3035. To
register, please email your resume/credentials to Daniel.a.danzo.civ@mail.mil.
