Fairfax County, Virginia – As Northern Virginia continues to evolve as one of the nation’s most dynamic employment hubs, the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) will host a free hiring event on January 22, 2026, at Capital One Hall, bringing together more than 40 employers and thousands of open roles across a wide range of industries.

The event is designed to support professionals at all stages of their careers, including former federal workers and contractors navigating career transitions, as well as students, veterans, and experienced professionals seeking new opportunities in Northern Virginia.

“Northern Virginia’s economy is built on adaptability, talent, and purpose driven work,” said Victor Hoskins, President and CEO of FCEDA. “At a time when many people are reassessing their next step, this event is about creating real connections between skilled professionals and employers who are hiring now. Our role is to make sure opportunity remains accessible, inclusive, and visible.”

Connecting Talent with Opportunity

The hiring event will feature employers from across the region’s innovation economy, including organizations working in information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, aerospace, healthcare technology, artificial intelligence, data analytics, renewable energy, and professional services.

Recruiters from companies such as Peraton, Amentum, CACI, Somatus, Xcelerate Solutions, Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA) and others will be on site to discuss open roles, hiring needs, and career pathways. Cleared professionals are encouraged to attend, and all backgrounds are welcome.

Supporting Career Transitions

In addition to employer engagement, attendees will have access to free professional headshots provided by on-site photographers, helping job seekers strengthen their professional presence for resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and online portfolios.
