Veterans Career Fair Runs Today in Chelsea, 10 to 3 — 'From Service to Success' at 122 West 27th Street
America Works New York and the city Human Resources Administration host a veterans career fair and Veterans Day tribute today, Monday, November 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the seventh floor at 122 West 27th Street — open to veterans and non-veterans alike.
Two days before the parade, the week's veterans work starts with a job fair. America Works New York, in partnership with the New York City Human Resources Administration, hosts 'From Service to Success,' a career fair and Veterans Day tribute, today — Monday, November 9 — from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 122 West 27th Street, seventh floor, in Chelsea. The fair is part of a New York veteran hiring initiative announced by America Works, a national workforce development organization with more than 40 years of experience, aimed at helping veterans secure lasting civilian employment — including veterans facing homelessness or housing instability. Attendance, the announcement says, is open to veterans and non-veterans alike.
The need is stated in the city's own count. The Department of Homeless Services reported 197 veterans in short-term housing on November 1, 2026, and the initiative says it is working to strengthen connections with the city's veterans' agency and short-term housing facilities — the route, in other words, from a shelter bed to a payroll. The fair's pitch is connection rather than ceremony: employers and services in one room, on a weekday, in the middle of the city, ahead of the holiday that honors the same people on Wednesday.
The practical file for any veteran heading over: 122 West 27th Street, seventh floor, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, no restriction on who may attend. Wednesday's parade on Fifth Avenue is this week's public tribute; Monday's fair is its working counterpart — and for the 197 veterans the city counted in short-term housing at the month's start, it is the one with a paycheck at the end of it.
