Scott’s first transition summit a success
Airman 1st Class Anthony Rudderow, 375th Contracting Squadron contracting specialist, attended a free hiring fair and transition summit at Scott Air Force Base, Ill. on July 13, 2016. "For me, it's about being able to go and see what people are looking for in the private sector so I can make sure I'm staying on par with what they're expecting in terms of new hires," said Rudderow. The first day of the transition summit offered industry briefs from Microsoft, the 375th Communications Group, Alcoa, Fastport, and SSM Health to transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses, followed by a panel discussion with senior leaders of potential employers that answered questions of audience members on the transitioning process. The second day featured employment workshops, another panel discussion on different transition perspectives, and a hiring and education fair. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Airman Daniel Garcia)
