The event will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 7 from 1:30 to 5 p.m. at Dillon Stadium in Hartford.
Up to 40 organizations are expected to participate. Those organizations are ones that "support a diverse workforce providing opportunities for veterans, people of color, women, and those with disabilities," according to an announcement on the expo website.
"Serving our veterans, diverse communities, and those who need us most is one of our most important jobs as a government and as neighbors," Gov. Ned Lamont said in part in a statement.
