Employers that hire veterans and those seeking to expand the number of veterans in their workforce are invited to apply for the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development’s Vets Ready Employer Initiative. Applications for the recognition aimed at employers that hire and retain veterans, build veteran support systems, and connect with veterans in the community will be accepted through July 19, 2024.
This DWD award salutes Wisconsin employers who go above and beyond for veteran employees in their workplaces, and it helps employers improve their ability to attract and retain veteran talent.
“Since 2020, we’ve showcased employers that put veterans and their families first through the Vets Ready Employer Initiative,” DWD Secretary Amy Pechacek said. “We continue to show appreciation for employers that support and advocate for those who have served our country through this opportunity.”
DWD awards gold or silver certifications for small, medium, and large businesses. DWD promotes employers that receive a Vets Ready recognition to veteran job seekers and community partners.
DWD partners with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Disabled American Veterans Department of Wisconsin, the Veterans Chamber of Commerce, the Wisconsin American Legion, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserves, and the Wisconsin Department of Economic Development on the Vets Ready Employer Initiative.
