Hire Vets First Information

The President's National Hire Veteran's Committee, in cooperation with the US Department of Labor's VETS and Employment and Training Administration (ETA), launched a campaign to promote the hiring of veterans by employers. 

The campaign, through its Web site, www.HireVetsFirst.gov, and the US Department of Labor's Toll-Free Help Line 1-877-US2-JOBS (TTY: 1-877-889-5627), refers employers to local One-Stop Career Centers for assistance in connecting to veterans.  Businesses that contact One-stop Career Centers will have the opportunity to tap into the veteran labor pool by utilizing the comprehensive services offered at One-Stop Career Centers.

The www.HireVetsFirst.gov web site offers employers the opportunity to be designated as a "Hire Vets First" employer through interaction with their local One-Stop Career Centers.
