Description
Provides veterans representatives to help with issues related to transitioning from a military career to civilian employment. Veterans from all periods of military service are eligible for job referral, job training and job placement assistance through the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), with an emphasis on those veterans who are disabled, minority, female, homeless, and/or culturally or economically disadvantaged. The Assistant Secretary of Labor for VETS has designated these specific groups of veterans to receive special assistance. Veterans may access these employment services through a statewide network of VEC Field Operations offices and the Veterans Services Staff (DVOP and LVER) who are assigned to most, but not all, of the VEC Workforce Centers across Virginia. The VEC assists between 13,000 and 15,000 veterans annually in securing unsubsidized employment, depending on the economy and employer demand.

Providing organization
Virginia Employment Commission
The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) administers the state’s Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits program, providing temporary financial assistance to individuals who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Funded by employer-paid taxes under the Virginia Unemployment Compensation Act, this program supports workers, families, and communities while stabilizing the economy. VEC connects individuals to employment services and training managed by the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement (DWDA), also known as "Virginia Works.”
