SUMMARY:The Network: Direct Employer Access (Norfolk)
DESCRIPTION:Stop applying online. Start shaking hands. Bypass the resume “black hole.” Meet vetted hiring managers who know what your clearance is worth\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You. We Can.\nThe Problem: You spend hours tailoring your resume. You submit it to an online portal. You wait. You hear nothing. The “Black Hole” of online applications is the enemy of a fast transition.\nThe Solution: The Network is your bypass. We cut the red tape and put you in the room with the people who actually sign the offer letters.\nThis isn’t a “job fair” where you collect brochures. This is a tactical access point to the 757’s most aggressive military-hiring companies. We have vetted every employer in the room. They aren’t here to tell you to “apply on the website”—they are here to find their next team leader.\nWho Should Attend:\nTransitioning Service Members: Who are tired of the waiting game.\nMilitary Spouses: Looking for employers who understand the PCS lifestyle.\nVeterans: Ready to level up from their current civilian role.\nYour Rules of Engagement:\nBring Resumes if you have them BUT no biggie if you don’t.\nBe Social: No stress\, take your 30 seconds to tell them who you are. Make it count. Learn who they are and what they’re looking for. If it’s not you\, how you can help.\nThe job market is all about who you know. Come know the right people.\nIf you have any additional questions\, please do not hesitate to contact us:\nPhone: 757-807-0423\nEmail: militarycommunity@theworkforcecouncil.org\nThis event and the services provided herein at the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Centers are funded through 25% or $199\,576 through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and 75% or $580\,391 through nonfederal sources.

SUMMARY:Build Your Own AI Agent: The Claude Agent SDK | AICHR
DESCRIPTION:Notice: This meeting will be recorded. By joining and remaining in this meeting\, you consent to being recorded. If you do not consent\, please do not join.\nThis event is capped at 500 attendees. Register now to secure your spot.\nBuild Your Own AI Agent: The Claude Agent SDK –\nYou’ve been using Claude Code interactively. Type a prompt\, watch it work\, review the output. That’s great for your workflow. But what happens when you need Claude running inside your application? Processing uploads at 3 AM? Reviewing PRs automatically? Analyzing logs as a service?\nThe Claude Agent SDK is Claude Code packaged as a Python and TypeScript library. One function call\, one prompt\, and you have a fully autonomous agent with 10+ built-in tools — file reading\, code editing\, shell commands\, web search\, MCP connections — all handled autonomously. No tool loop. No orchestration code. The SDK is free and open source. You pay for tokens only.\nThis is a live coding workshop. We’ll build 10 real agents from scratch\, starting with a 10-line bug finder and ending with a multi-agent coordinator that spawns subagents for parallel work.\nWhat we’ll cover:\n🧠 Why the Agent SDK Changes Everything The difference between the Client SDK (you build the tool loop)\, Claude Code CLI (you interact manually)\, and the Agent SDK (Claude handles tools autonomously in your code).\n⚡ 10 Agents We’ll Build Live:\nBug Finder & Fixer — reads code\, finds bugs\, fixes them. 10 lines of Python.\nCode Documentation Generator — docstrings for every function in a directory\nTest Writer — writes tests\, runs them\, fixes failures\, iterates until green\nFile Processor Pipeline — watch a folder\, process every new file automatically\nAPI Health Monitor — hits endpoints\, reports status\, opens issues on failure\nLog Analyzer — reads logs\, groups errors by pattern\, produces a digest\nSecurity Auditor — scans for hardcoded secrets\, SQL injection\, missing validation\nData Report Generator — reads a database or CSV\, produces formatted reports\nPR Review Bot — triggered by webhook\, reviews against your checklist\, posts comments\nMulti-Agent Coordinator — spawns subagents for parallel research + writing + review\n🏗️ Managed Agents Preview The hosted version: sandboxed containers\, persistent state\, credential vaulting. $0.08/session-hour + tokens. Public beta since April 8\, 2026. When to use Agent SDK (your infra) vs Managed Agents (Anthropic’s infra).\nWho this is for: Python or TypeScript developers who want to build autonomous AI agents. If you’ve been using Claude Code and want to embed its capabilities into your own applications\, services\, or pipelines — this is the session. Prior experience with Claude Code is helpful but not required.\nWho this is NOT for: Non-developers. This is a coding workshop. Every demo involves writing and running Python or TypeScript code. If you’re looking for no-code AI workflows\, see our earlier events in the series.\nWhat you’ll leave with: ✅ The Agent SDK installed and a working agent running on your machine ✅ A free homework doc with all 10 agent templates in Python and TypeScript ✅ Understanding of built-in tools\, permission modes\, MCP integration\, and subagents ✅ The architecture for building production agent services\nPrerequisites: — Python 3.10+ or Node.js 18+ — An Anthropic API key (sign up at console.anthropic.com) — A code editor and terminal — Basic Python or TypeScript proficiency\n🎙️ Your Speaker Andrew Stafford Co-Lead of The AI Collective Hampton Roads. 25+ years across technology\, cloud architecture\, and AI — including work with Amazon\, NASA\, healthcare platforms\, and enterprise systems. Author of AI for Business. Currently building at the intersection of AI tooling\, agentic workflows\, and practical business automation.\n🏢 For Businesses Want to bring AI automation training to your team?

DESCRIPTION:Stop applying online. Start shaking hands. Bypass the resume “black hole.” Meet vetted hiring managers who know what your clearance is worth\nThe Algorithm Can’t Hire You. We Can.\nThe Problem: You spend hours tailoring your resume. You submit it to an online portal. You wait. You hear nothing. The “Black Hole” of online applications is the enemy of a fast transition.\nThe Solution: The Network is your bypass. We cut the red tape and put you in the room with the people who actually sign the offer letters.\nThis isn’t a “job fair” where you collect brochures. This is a tactical access point to the 757’s most aggressive military-hiring companies. We have vetted every employer in the room. They aren’t here to tell you to “apply on the website”—they are here to find their next team leader.\nWho Should Attend:\nTransitioning Service Members: Who are tired of the waiting game.\nMilitary Spouses: Looking for employers who understand the PCS lifestyle.\nVeterans: Ready to level up from their current civilian role.\nYour Rules of Engagement:\nBring Resumes if you have them BUT no biggie if you don’t.\nBe Social: No stress\, take your 30 seconds to tell them who you are. Make it count. Learn who they are and what they’re looking for. If it’s not you\, how you can help.\nThe job market is all about who you know. Come know the right people.\nIf you have any additional questions\, please do not hesitate to contact us:\nPhone: 757-807-0423\nEmail: militarycommunity@theworkforcecouncil.org\nThis event and the services provided herein at the Hampton Roads Veterans Employment Centers are funded through 25% or $199\,576 through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and 75% or $580\,391 through nonfederal sources.
