Is your organization made up of at least 10% Veteran staff? Then you could be recognized by the statewide initiative called We Hire Vets.

This recognition is FREE of charge and is reflected on jobs you post on the State website www.workintexas.com as well as awards you physical and digital signage to reflect the designation.

You can nominate different locations throughout the state if they have a separate Texas Tax ID and thus be honored for each location. We have staff who can assist you if you run into any issues with the nominating process.

Texas is the Best State for Veterans

• Texas is home to more veterans and more women veterans than any other state.
• With over 1.7 million veterans and serving military in Texas, you’re part of a large community.
• Veterans, transitioning military, and military spouses like yourself make our workforce stronger. 

First and foremost, thank you to all veterans for your service to our country. At Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County, we are proud to offer Priority of Service to Veterans and eligible spouses, ensuing they receive first access to job search assistance, training opportunities and career resources.

Through a strong partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and the Texas Veterans Commission (TVC), we offer dedicated Veteran Career Advisors who specialize in helping veterans translate their military experience into civilian careers, connect to high-quality job openings and access support programs designed specifically for their needs.

From personalized career guidance to referrals for training, education and more, veterans can expect streamlined, respectful and efficient service every time they walk into one of our workforce centers.

Your skills are exactly what Texas employers need to grow and thrive. Your military experience is invaluable. We connect Tarrant County employers with skilled veterans like you tohelpthemfilltheirworkforceneeds.

Another way we honor our Veterans is with priority access to all our job fairs, what that means:

• Special priority line to enter the event
• Veteran Badges to help identify our heroes.

We do this at all our job fairs, but our Hiring Red, White & You! Job Fair which is in its 14th year and we held locally on November 4th was established to connect Texas Veterans, Transitioning Military Members and Military Spouses with Employers.

• Over the past 13 years, statewide the Hiring Red, White, & You! Job fair has made a big impact. We've connected 26,000 employers with over 153,000job seekers,including52,500veterans.
