It was organized by officials in Camden County to help vets make the sometimes difficult transition to civilian work life.
Friday, veterans had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with employers looking to fill over 1,000 positions.
Career counseling, resume writing and interview coaching was also available.
Employers said hiring vets tend to be a win for everyone.
This was the fifth year of the veterans work summit.
If you are a veteran who lives in the area and weren't able to attend the event, you can reach out to the Chamber of Commerce of Southern New Jersey.
They offer vets year-round employment assistance.
