How Service-Connected Veterans can find VA jobs
David Perry, Chief Officer, Workforce Management and Consulting, VHA, discusses career opportunities for service-connected Veterans.
Perry joined Mike Owens, VHA marketing specialist, on the weekly “Talk About It Tuesday” broadcast on LinkedIn to discuss careers for Veterans who were injured or developed illness during their service to our nation. “That skill and training that you learned in the service is exactly what we’re looking for in VA,” Perry said. “We want you to come work at VA.”
VA is always on the lookout for transitioning military personnel and former military to fill critically needed positions, such as health care technicians, intermediate care technicians, mental health providers, physicians and physician assistants.
Perry reviewed the many government programs and hiring initiatives that help “level the playing field” and give Veterans, including service-connected disabled Veterans, preference in the hiring process.
He also recommended taking advantage of the Veteran Readiness and Employment program, which gives Veterans the chance to gain real work experience and training with a federal agency.
