Veterans who are disabled, who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during certain specified time periods or in military campaigns are entitled to preference over others in hiring for virtually all
federal government jobs.
This bipartisan Bill would establish a series of tax credits for businesses that hire Veterans in need of employment, publish employment assessments for all Military Occupational Specialties, and expand on the job training apprenticeship programs for Veterans.
The George W. Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative and the U.S. Chamber’s Hiring our Heroes program joined together with a host of government, private and non-profit sector partners to develop a Veteran Employment Transition (VET) Roadmap to provide transitioning service members and veterans a resource so that they are better equipped to navigate that landscape and join the civilian workforce.
