Albany Job Fair features Veteran’s Hour from 1pm-2pm and offers job seekers a chance to talk to more than 40 recruiting companies from across the Capital Region
LATHAM NY, NY, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The next Albany Job Fair takes place Wednesday, September 9, 2026, from 1pm to 5pm at the Holiday Inn Express, 400 Old Loudon Road, Latham, NY. The Albany Job Fair features a Veteran’s Hour from 1pm-2pm and offers job seekers a chance to talk to more than 40 recruiting companies from across the Capital Region. Job seekers can interview with local and regional employment opportunities from entry level to C Level executives, across a wide range of industries and talk to many New York State Agencies about career options and start the application process.
The Albany Job Fair will offer a Veteran’s Hour from 1pm to 2pm to provide vets time with the recruiters before the general public enters at 2pm. “We feel that our vets have given a great deal to this country and we want to honor them,” said Darcy Knapp, event founder and organizer.
“Helping our veterans find meaningful employment is one of the most important ways we can honor their service,” said Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara. “These brave men and women have the skills, discipline, and dedication that make them invaluable members of our workforce. Job fairs like this one not only connect veterans to great career opportunities but also remind them that their service is respected and appreciated long after their uniforms are retired.”
What also sets The Albany Job Fair apart is its resume distribution program, designed to benefit all job seekers — whether they attend in person or not. Resumes can be submitted ahead of the event by emailing to resumes@albanyjobfair.com. The resumes are then gathered and distributed to all participating recruiters. Resumes may also be dropped off at registration on the day of the event for scanning and distribution.
Job seeker registration is not required. Job seekers are invited to speak directly with hiring representatives from major employers including over a dozen New York State Agencies, Janitronics, Express Employment, Gleeble, RPI, Empire Oral Surgery, NY Army National Guard, and supported by the NYS Department of Labor and NYS Veterans’ Services.
“The Albany Job Fair distributes over 750 resumes to each recruiting company ahead of the event. The resumes dropped off at the Albany Job Fair are scanned for the recruiters work with,” said Darcy Knapp, event director. “This event is the only in-person job fair that facilitates resume distribution for all job seekers, whether they can attend or not.”
Recruiters can screen resumes and schedule interviews well in advance of the Albany Job Fair date. Early submissions are encouraged to maximize visibility and interview scheduling potential. The mission of The Albany Job fair is to help job seekers find employment as quickly as possible.
The Albany Job Fair also features an online job fair, accessible at https://albanyjobfair.com/apply-now/ where job seekers can freely browse open positions and apply directly to the hiring companies. The Albany Job Fair lists all recruiting companies with links to their online job listings and encourages early application.
“I would like to commend the Albany Job Fair for once again dedicating the first hour of the event exclusively for Veterans. This is a great way to show respect for those who have served and to make sure they have the opportunity to connect with employers one-on-one before other job seekers vie for their attention.” said Albany County Executive Daniel P.
