Veteran
Services
The Veterans Employment Service
provides one of the highest quality job referral and
placement systems in the nation. Employer job orders
immediately gain statewide exposure to Nevada's labor
force. And, for hard-to-find specialized workers our
affiliation with
JobCentral offers exposure to employer job
openings in employment service offices throughout the
nation.

Job Search Workshops
can teach the veteran job-seeker to take command of
their job-search efforts. Techniques of resume
preparation, proper application procedures, and
interviewing skills are also taught in the workshop
setting.
Assessment & Guidance
Services help the veteran job-seeker to make
career-related decisions through aptitude testing,
assessment, vocational guidance, counseling services,
and access to
Nevada's Career Information System
(NCIS) for additional job search tools.
Labor Market Information
gives job-seeking veterans valuable information about
trends in the labor market. This information is helpful
in giving direction to the job search and in making
informed career decisions. In Nevada, there is no better
source of labor market information than the department's
Research and Analysis Bureau.
Every Day is Veterans
Day:
The Nevada
JobConnect system places the highest priority on providing a
variety of employment services to veterans of U.S. military
service. Every Nevada JobConnect office has the
responsibility of insuring priority of service to our nation’s
veterans. That’s one of the reasons why – every day is
Veterans Day in Nevada. Another reason: Nevada’s
employers are strongly committed to creating job
opportunities for veterans through training,
re-training, and on-the-job training programs in their
places of business. This exceptional relationship between
Nevada JobConnect
and the business community is integral to providing no-fee
employment services to the men and women who have served
this country.
Training:
The
Career Enhancement Program
(CEP) places program-qualified veterans into training and
re-training opportunities. CEP offers veterans classroom and
on-the-job training, while participating employers receive
monetary incentives to help offset costs associated with the
veteran's training.
How to Obtain Assistance:
Highly trained
Veterans Representatives are located in most Nevada JobConnect offices.
These Veterans' Representatives are veterans themselves. They have
received specialized training by the Department of Labor in Employment
Assistance specifically for veterans. This training enables them
to provide unique assistance to veterans.
Federal
Contractor Program
This link contains the Federal Contractor Report on Veteran's Employment
(VETS-100) and contractor guidelines for hiring veterans.
Employers who have contracted (or subcontracted) with the federal
government for goods and/or services over a specified amount are
required by federal law to take affirmative action to hire and promote
qualified veterans. Employers must also list job openings with the
nearest Nevada JobConnect office.
