TUCSON, AZ — Job seekers who'd rather talk to a real person than fire resumes into the void have a free option this week. A Networking Job Club meets Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at the Pima County One-Stop's Kino Veterans Workforce Center, where featured Tucson employers will be on hand to share their open jobs and exactly how to apply.

Veterans and their families are especially encouraged to attend, and the event is free and open to job seekers.

📍 Networking Job Club at a Glance

What a Networking Job Club is

This isn't a stand-in-line, hand-over-a-resume job fair. The networking club format is built around conversation: you meet directly with employers to hear about their current openings, what they're looking for, and the right way to get your application in front of the people who make hiring decisions. It's a relaxed, face-to-face way to make a real connection, ask questions, and walk away knowing your next step. The Kino Veterans Workforce Center runs these networking sessions as part of its regular support for veterans and local job seekers.

🔥 Featured employers and who they're hiring

Several Tucson-area employers are confirmed to take part, with openings spanning warehouse and trades work, customer service, construction, and more:

• Adecco – warehouse, manufacturing, production, and general laborer roles
• Alorica – financial customer service, accounting and bookkeeping customer service, customer support reps, and overnight customer service reps
• Fred G. Acosta Job Corps – residential advisor, TABE specialist, ELL instructor, security officer, driver/security officer, academic supervisor, maintenance tech, outreach and admissions counselor, and counselor
• Northwest Fire District – warehouse inventory specialist II and firefighter recruit
• Rummel Construction (Land Development) – residential construction manager, heavy equipment mechanic, experienced heavy civil construction project manager, and grade checker

🎖️ Veterans encouraged to attend

The event is hosted at the Kino Veterans Workforce Center, a specialized ARIZONA@WORK Pima County One-Stop site that has supported veterans, active-duty service members, and their spouses since 2012. Veterans and their families are especially encouraged to come, and the center's staff can connect attendees with career counseling, resume help, and benefits assistance alongside the employer networking.

Think about which featured employers you most want to talk to, and come with a couple of specific questions for each. A short, friendly follow-up afterward keeps you top of mind.
