Veteran services

You may qualify for special services if you served in the military

WorkSource helps about 24,000 veterans, including disabled veterans, find jobs each year.

On most days, we have more than 17,000 Washington job listings.

As a veteran, you get priority referrals to those jobs and other services over non-veteran applicants with the same qualifications.

WorkSource centers offer veterans and their spouses:

Job listings, referrals and hiring events.
Résumé and application assistance.
Internet access for job searches.
Use of copiers, fax machines, phones.

In most offices, we also have employees who are specifically assigned to help veterans. They’ll assess your skills and interests, put together an employment plan that’s right for you, and refer you to valuable support services.

To learn more, contact your local WorkSource office.
