TheColorado Veterans Program

Our mission is to provide Veterans and transitioning service members with the resources and services to succeed in the 21st Century workforce by meeting labor-market demands with qualified Veterans.

The primary objective of the Colorado Veterans Employment & Training Program is to develop and support programs that increase opportunities for Veterans to obtain employment and job training in Colorado. Eligible Veterans are entitled to receive priority services in job referrals and referrals to training as well as other employment-related services. Veterans with service-connected disabilities receive the highest priority in all employment services.

Priority of Service

On November 2, 2002, the Jobs for Veterans Act was signed and became Public Law 107-288, which creates a priority of service for Veterans (and some spouses) “who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for participation” in all Department of Labor funded training programs.

Job Training and Education

You may qualify for a scholarship or tuition assistance for re-training into a new field or upgrade your current skills to improve your marketability.

Job Development Services

The Veterans Representative can assist you in securing an interview with a potential employer by matching your skills to the needs of an established network of employers in your local area.

Job Referrals

Veterans always receive top-priority in job referrals. That means you will learn about available jobs before the rest of the job-seeking public.
