EMPLOYMENT & RESOURCES FOR VETERANS
The State of Wisconsin proudly serves Veterans by providing education, training and other benefits to Veterans and their family members.

"Connecting with the Office of Veterans Employment Services was a blessing that most veterans aren't fortunate enough to have so early in their transition," said US Army veteran Marcus Perez. "All veterans need to visit their Wisconsin Job Center for program assistance. It's such a game changer."
