Employment opportunities for military and veterans
Members of the armed services offer great value to the workforce. Yet many transitioning to civilian life may need support to find a job. While some may have acquired marketable technical skills during their enlistment, others may struggle to match their qualifications with a profession. If you’re a veteran who needs direction, taking advantage of local skills training and job placement programs can prepare you for rewarding a career.
