Veterans are our priority!
Eligible veterans are entitled to priority services
Public Law 107-288, Title 38, U.S. Code and State Legislation mandates that qualified veterans receive priority in all employment and training programs including:
  • Referral to jobs and job training programs
  • Counseling, testing and job development assistance
  • Eligibility determination for tax credit programs
  • Assistance in filing complaints related to:
    • Federal contractors regarding affirmative action for qualified veterans
    • Federal agency hiring practices related to veteran preference
    • Uniformed Service Employment and Re-employment Rights Act (USERRA), including rights of national guard and reserve members
If you have served full-time in the U.S. military, including as a member of a national guard or reserve unit called to active duty under Title 10; have a service-connected disability; or are the spouse of a service member missing in action, captured in line of duty or the spouse of a veteran with a 100 percent service-connected disability or who died while such disability was in existence, you may be entitled to receive priority services once your status is verified.

If you meet any of the above criteria or have questions, please inform our staff.
