Service Academy Career Conference

View Companies Attending

Join us on the West Coast for the San Diego SACC!

Employer and Advanced Education Seminars will be held on Thursday, August 17 followed by the Career Fair on Friday, August 18.

The goal of SACC is to create connections. We provide a platform that enables organizations and academic institutions to connect directly with an unparalleled pool of highly qualified candidates. Every candidate is a Veteran of the U.S. Military with a proven track record of organizational leadership in the military and in corporate settings. Regardless of your talent acquisition needs, these candidates represent all levels of military and civilian experience.

The SACC platform provides our candidates the opportunity to engage with industry-leading companies and premier academic institutions from across the globe as they navigate career transitions and pursue graduate degrees.

Established in 1994, the Service Academy Career Conference, on behalf of the Alumni Associations and Associations of Graduates, brings together graduates of the five service academies - the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

To Register:

You must be a graduate of USAFA, USCGA, USMA, USMMA or USNA
You must be an active member with your Alumni Association or Association of Graduates

The cost of registration is $50.

Make your hotel reservation by 1 August to receive the SACC rate.

Be sure to arrive on Thursday for company-sponsored seminars. They are great opportunities to connect with and ask questions of recruiters!

Updates for this event will be posted approximately six weeks prior to the event. Email sacc@usna.com with any questions.
