A local organization is doing what they can to put local veterans back to work.
Moravian College hosted its first ever Educational Fair for veterans on Saturday.
Issac Hudzinski was one of the participants at the event. Shorty after high school, he enrolled in the Marine Corp, serving two tours in Afghanistan over the past 5 years.
Hudzinski, who has his high school diploma, has dreams of becoming a high school history teacher. He is looking into colleges to help him attain his degree.
As part of the education fair, various organizations and colleges in the Lehigh Valley were on hand to discuss programs, and degrees with local veterans.
The organizers of the event say the goal is to position veterans to land good-paying, stable jobs.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the January 2015 unemployment rate for veterans was 7.9%. That is more than 2 points higher than the national civilian unemployment rate.
