VA Provides Job Transferability
Maintaining a career while relocating due to Permanent Change of Station (PCS) orders can be difficult for military spouses. Internal transfers are an option for those employed with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Having signed the 4+1 Commitment, VA aims to help military spouses find and maintain meaningful employment. This includes facilitating job transferability or reassignment to vacant, funded positions for which they are qualified.
To facilitate a transfer within VA, a vacant funded position must be identified, and the employee must meet the requisite qualifications to be considered. VA has more than 1,300 facilities across the Nation and U.S. territories, which allows for greater job transferability and/or reassignment options.
If you’re considering a VA career or reassignment, the Department’s Veteran and Military Spouse Talent Engagement Program (VMSTEP) can help. VMSTEP provides Veterans, transitioning Service members, and military spouses with assistance to develop competitive applications and secure employment with VA. These services include:
- Federal resume support and revisions.
- Interview preparation and advice.
- Guidance on dressing for success.
- Assistance navigating the Federal Government’s official employment website USAJobs.
