WASHINGTON (NNS) — As part of the Shipmates to Workmates program, the Naval Facilities Engineering Command will co-host a job forum July 10 at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) to inform Sailors about career opportunities in the federal government.

The Shipmates to Workmates program is an initiative managed jointly by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command , Commander, Navy Installations Command, Space and Naval Warfare Command, and the Chief of Naval Operations. Forums are held at fleet concentration areas around the country and provide Sailors with information about career opportunities available at the different commands.

“We want to reach as many Sailors as possible,” said NAVFAC Total Force Military Advisor Capt. Steve Donley. “The forum that is being held at Naval Base Ventura County will assist Sailors with preparing resumes and job applications, and will provide them with employment information at each command.”

More than 50 government agencies and private companies will be on hand for Sailors to talk to. The Shipmates to Workmates forum aboard NBVC will be held at Duke’s Place on 23rd Ave., and runs from 9 a.m to 1 p.m.

A one-stop web site, http://jobs.navair.navy.mil/sm2wm/ also has been set up for Sailors to obtain additional information regarding upcoming job forums and links to transition resources, such as creating resumes and applying for federal jobs.
