Jobs for Veterans State Grant Program

Veteran Employment Services

Finding a meaningful career after military service can feel overwhelming, but our American Job Centers across the state offer a variety of services that include resource centers, job fairs, workshops, employment strategies, WIOA Scholarships, career counseling, job search assistance, access to job training and certifications, and labor market information. Our American Job Centers have dedicated staff who are ready to assist veterans, and covered persons find long-term suitable employment and gain access to training and education opportunities.  

Disabled Veteran Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialists provide individualized career services to a targeted population of veterans and eligible persons who have been identified as having qualifying employment barriers (QEBs) and who are economically or educationally disadvantaged to compete in today’s labor market. DVOPs can help veterans/eligible persons overcome barriers to employment, coordinate community resources, and gain access to education and job training opportunities that will give them a competitive advantage.

Local Veterans Employment Representatives (LVERs) conduct employer outreach to promote to employers the advantages of hiring veterans. LVER staff also plan, conduct, and participate in job fairs, conduct job clubs, and coordinate with apprenticeship and internship programs, business organizations, and unions in promoting and advocating the benefits of training programs for veterans.
