Although Veteran’s Day was celebrated a few days ago across the country and at the Texas Workforce Commission, the commission is still focused on providing veterans with the tools for success through employment, education and training opportunities.
TWC launched the 13th annual Hiring Red, White & You! statewide hiring event on Nov. 1. This event connects veterans and their families with employers across Texas.
TWC has several programs to help veterans with their career goals:
- Texas Veteran’s Leadership
The Texas Veterans Leadership Program assists all veterans and those who are transitioning from the military into civilian life by connecting them with resources like job training, education, and mental health support.
- We Hire Vets
Through We Hire Vets, TWC recognizes businesses in which veterans make up at least 10% of the workforce. TWC is proud to have more than 10 % veterans in our workforce.
- College Credit for Heroes
The College Credit for Heroes program helps veterans’ transition into the workforce by maximizing the college credit available for their military experience.
- WorkInTexas.com
TWC’s online employment resource gives veterans priority access to certain jobs. Employers can post opportunities and request veteran applicants.
