Supporting America’s current, transitioning, or former military personnel and their families
When military personnel transition to civilian employment, America’s businesses stand to benefit. In organizations of all sizes and in all industries, veterans bring valuable skills and experience to the table. They also know what it means to put in a hard day’s work. Because of the training, work ethic, and goal-oriented culture of the military, veterans not only make excellent employees, but also have a higher rate of retention. What’s more, they grasp new concepts quickly and work well both independently and as part of a team – highly prized skills in any workplace.
Through its Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS), the U.S. Department of Labor works to ensure veterans and military spouses are positioned to reach their full potential in the civilian workforce. Learn about VETS
