Veterans - Employment Services
Employment Services
The Texas Veterans Commission offers Employment Services to all veterans in Texas. The goal of these services is to match veteran job seekers with the best employment opportunities available. In addition, employers are matched with qualified veterans who possess numerous unique abilities gained through military service such as:
  • Leadership ability
  • Teamwork
  • An accelerated learning curve
  • Knowledge of new technology and the global environment
  • Efficient performance under pressure
  • Ability to establish and follow guidelines and procedures
  • Integrity
Services
Veterans Employment Representatives provide a full range of employment services. VERs are specifically trained to assist veterans with job applications, resume preparation, job matching and searches, as well as other services for those with special needs. VERs are located in our Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange Career Centers and offer one-on-one assistance to veterans.
The Transition Assistance Program is conducted at TAP sites in coordination with the Department of Defense. These programs are targeted to military service members and their spouses who are preparing to separate from their respective military service. The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment program offers disabled veterans the opportunity to use educational benefits to pay for additional education or training in order to assist in their career opportunities.
