“Hiring Red, White & You! is an opportunity to recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans and military families by helping connect them with meaningful career opportunities,” said Phedra Redifer, executive director of Workforce Solutions for North Central Texas. “These events would not be possible without our partners, and I want to thank every employer, community organization, and agency that is showing up for our veterans and our region’s job seekers. I especially want to thank the Allen Economic Development Corporation for sponsoring our Allen event. Their support helps us bring dozens of employers and more than 4,900 job openings directly to the people who need them.”

Redifer noted that while veterans and military families are the focus, the doors are open to everyone. “If you’re looking for a job or a better one, come see us,” she said.
