VA hiring events have gotten complicated with all the different formats and registration systems flying around. Here’s a major one worth your attention.
The Department of Veterans Affairs announced today that it will host a major hiring event in February 2026, targeting transitioning service members and veterans across all military branches.
The event will take place at VA facilities nationwide on February 15, 2026, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available.
What to Expect at the Event
Probably should have led with this section, honestly. Attendees can expect on-the-spot interviews for positions including healthcare administration, IT support, veterans services representatives, and maintenance roles. The VA is looking to fill over 5,000 positions nationally.
Healthcare Positions in High Demand
That’s what makes this event endearing to us veterans with medical backgrounds—veterans with healthcare experience are especially encouraged to attend, as the VA continues to expand its medical facilities and telehealth programs. Nursing, medical administration, and mental health counseling roles are particularly in demand.
Registration Details
Registration opens January 15, 2026 through the VA careers portal. Veterans should bring updated resumes and be prepared for same-day interviews.
Part of Broader VA Commitment
This event is part of the VA’s commitment to hiring more veterans, following their pledge to increase veteran employment by 20% in 2026.
