Connecticut American Job Center Services for Veterans

“Connecticut Department of Labor – A Partner of the American Job Center Networks affords Priority of Services to all veterans. Disabled Veterans Outreach Program Specialists (DVOP) assist veterans who have one or more of the eleven defined significant barriers to employment (SBE), with employment and training needs. Veterans are offered vocational guidance, case management, counseling services, and workshops on topics such as resumes and cover letters, job search and using the Internet. American Job Center staff is available to provide assistance to those veterans who do not have significant barriers to employment.

Local Veteran’s Employment Representatives (LVER) conduct outreach to employers to increase employment opportunities for veterans, encourage the hiring of disabled veterans, and assist veterans to gain and retain employment.”
