About the Paychecks for Patriots Program
Paychecks for Patriots is an annual initiative led by the CareerSource Florida network, designed to connect veterans, transitioning military personnel, and their families with local employers throughout the state during October and November.
The 2026 edition of the program introduces Hope Florida, offering additional support in housing, healthcare, and transportation for participants and their families.
These three job fairs are distinct from other hiring events in the region around the same dates, such as those on November 4 and 5 in Perrine and the Miami Downtown Library, which are separate events not affiliated with Paychecks for Patriots.
