Description

Veterans are a great source of talent for civilian employers and often embody the capabilities and valuable skills developed through real-world, high-pressure experiences in a military setting. But how do you connect these talented individuals to the opportunities that await them? Join this session to explore how employers engage with the public workforce system to support veterans, the employment resources available for veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses, and dispel the myths associated with American Job Centers being just “the unemployment office.” This session will feature actionable takeaways regarding resources employers can use to connect with veteran talent and further showcase DirectEmployers long-standing partnership with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) and our joint-initiative, the National Labor Exchange (NLx).
Presenters: Emma Northcott, Program Manager, National Labor Exchange, National Association of State Workforce Agencies
