INGLEWOOD — Deputy Under Secretary of the Army Mario Diaz will host the Total Army Career Fair from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Nov. 1-2, at SoFi Stadium.

The career fair will have recruiting representation from active-duty, Army Reserve, Army National Guard, and Department Army civilian organizations.

“The message is about opportunity,” said Roy Wallace, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff, G-1. “We want to focus on sharing the endless possibilities that a uniformed or a civilian career in the Army can offer.”

The event will highlight the wide array of careers in the Army, with on-the-spot hiring possible for hundreds of positions, including jobs in childcare, cyber, chemistry, construction, contracting, security, intelligence, engineering and more.

Uniformed recruits may receive signing bonuses up to $50,000, free health care for themselves and their dependents, and 30 days of paid time off.

“Prospective Soldiers can engage with those in uniform and envision themselves pursuing similar opportunities and roles,” said Michele Davis, director of strategic communications at the Army Civilian Human Resources Agency.

The Army has thousands of available civilian vacancies, in California and around the world, in over 500 occupations. Army civilian positions offer the chance for growth and advancement, and people with diverse skill sets and educational backgrounds are invited to attend.

“The career fair began as a civilian hiring event,” Wallace said. “But then we decided we would try something that's never been tried before, and that is to recruit for all Army openings at a single event, thus the ‘Total’ Army Career Fair. We want the Army to be the employer of choice for prospective candidates.”
