<p class="h5text" > Veterans from all periods of military service are eligible for job referral, job training and job placement assistance through the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), with an emphasis on those veterans who are disabled, minority, female, homeless, and/or culturally or economically disadvantaged. The Assistant Secretary of Labor for VETS has designated these specific groups of veterans to receive special assistance. </p>
<p class="h5text" > Veterans may access these employment services through a statewide network of VEC Field Operations offices and the Veterans Services Staff (DVOP and LVER) who are assigned to most, but not all, of the VEC Workforce Centers across Virginia. The VEC assists between 13,000 and 15,000 veterans annually in securing unsubsidized employment, depending on the economy and employer demand. </p>
<p> To obtain veterans employment services, or for more information, contact the VEC Veterans staff (DVOPs LVERs) in the VEC Workforce Center nearest you. Please Note: The DVOPs and LVERs stationed in the VEC Workforce Centers are not available to answer specific questions regarding your Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim for benefits. If you are a veteran with questions about your UI benefits, please call 1-866-832-2363, or review our
