Employment
The Commonwealth offers a variety of programs to assist veterans in finding employment upon their transition to civilian life and beyond.
The Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program is a Virginia Department of Veterans Services Program whose mission is to educate and train employers throughout the Commonwealth on the Value of Virginia’s Veterans, and to help employers connect with these personnel assets to maximize the productivity of their workforce.
The V3 Transition Program (V3T) provides transitioning service members and their spouses with the best Virginia has to offer. By providing peer-to-peer support through the transition process, V3T works alongside the transitioning service member or spouse to make referrals that address specific needs. The referral services could include, but are not limited to: resume review, introduction to the Virginia Labor Market index, connection with the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) certified companies for employment, and other DVS programs as applicable. The V3 Transition Program provides assistance to those seeking employment, education, and entrepreneurship, but we will also assist those with needs outside of those three core areas.
