President's National Hire Veterans Committee

Who We Are

The President's National Hire Veterans Committee (PNHVC) is the result of historic legislation passed by bipartisan majorities in the 107th Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush on November 7, 2002. The Jobs for Veterans Act, Public Law 107-288, established the President's National Hire Veterans Committee within the Department of Labor and authorized the Secretary of Labor to appoint its members.

Our Mission

The Committee has two missions:

  • To furnish employers with information on the training and skills of veterans and disabled veterans, and the advantages afforded employers by hiring veterans with such training and skills.
  • To facilitate employment of veterans and disabled veterans through participation in America's national labor exchange and other means.
