VA Employment Resources
Transition to civilian employment with confidence. Access career counseling, job training, and connections to veteran-friendly employers.
Understanding Employment Resources
The VA and its partners offer comprehensive employment resources to help veterans transition to civilian careers. From vocational rehabilitation programs to job search assistance, there are numerous services designed to help you leverage your military experience in the civilian workforce.
Veterans bring valuable skills, leadership experience, and work ethic to civilian employers. Many organizations actively seek to hire veterans and offer specialized programs to support their transition. The VA's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) program provides personalized employment services for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
