Hire A Hero this July! 

Join the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service in proudly celebrating National Hire a Veteran Day on July 25!

Don’t just salute our veterans; hire them.

Veterans across the country are ready to bring their leadership and skills to your workforce, and we are ready to help you connect with our nation’s top talent.

At DOL VETS, we are proud to stand behind the veterans who've served our country and the employers supporting their civilian career journey. Together, we can create meaningful career opportunities for those who have served while strengthening America's workforce.

We're here to help employers build their teams with our nation’s veterans! Here's where to start:
