Veteran Employment Programs/Nevada JobConnect

The Nevada JobConnect system places the highest priority on providing a variety of employment services to veterans of U.S. military branches. Every Nevada JobConnect office has the responsibility of insuring priority of service to our nation’s veterans. That’s one of the reasons why – every day is Veterans Day in Nevada. Another reason: Nevada’s employers are strongly committed to creating job opportunities for veterans through training, re-training, and on-the-job training programs in their places of business. This exceptional relationship between Nevada JobConnect and the business community is integral to providing no-fee employment services to the men and women who have served this country.

Training:

The Career Enhancement Program (CEP) funds short-term training for eligible clients along with funding reemployment related expenses such as tools, uniforms, food handlers card etc. required by an employer prior to starting work. Incentives to employers to hire from a designated population are provided through the Silver State Works program.

How to Obtain Assistance:

Highly trained Veterans Representatives are located in most Nevada JobConnect offices. These Veterans’ Representatives are veterans themselves. They have received specialized training by the Department of Labor in Employment Assistance specifically for veterans. This training enables them to provide unique assistance to veterans.
