Be a Vet-Friendly Employer

It makes sense to hire U.S. veterans. Veterans have the training, work ethic and proven skills that will immediately add value to your business. Equally important, you'll be contributing to America's global competitiveness and the strength of our economic base.

Listed below are three steps you can take right now to meet your employment initiatives, enhance your business and show your support for those men and women who have served in our military. Be certified as a vet-friendly employer:

1. Contact your local One-Stop Career Center or call 1-877-US2-JOBS. Comprehensive One-Stop Career Centers are in nearly 2,000 locations nationwide. You will be placed in immediate contact with a local representative who will help you meet your hiring needs, including the recruitment of veterans with disabilities.



2. Demonstrate how veterans are an integral part of the employers' workforce, either through recent hires or based on overall population of employees.



3. Display the symbol in your offices and in your advertising to promote awareness of veteran hiring, and to show your belief in the importance of being a veteran-friendly company.
