SAVANNAH — Operation Open Doors of Goodwill Industries of the Coastal Empire invites the business community to its Veterans Ready to Work Expo from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Wednesday, March 21, in the Salvation Army gym, 3000 Bee Road. 
Operation Open Doors provides employment search assistance, including work readiness and work ethics training, to veterans of the U.S. Military to competitively navigate the job market.  
To reserve table space at the expo, call Ailerua Crawford at 912-663-1242. For more information, go to www.goodwillsavannah.org or call program director Tabeter Robinson at 912-354-6611, ext 111.
Since the program’s inception in 2010:
• More than 144 veterans have been helped
• 58 veterans have been placed successfully in jobs
• 76 veterans have been referred to housing programs.
OOD was recently awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Labor Veterans Employment and Training Services and Homeless Veterans’ Reintegration Program to continue helping veterans in the Coastal Empire.  Veterans are work opportunity tax credit-eligible, which is an incentive for businesses.  To reserve table space at the expo, call Ailerua Crawford at 912-663-1242.
