The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is seeking Wisconsin employers who hire and retain veterans for the Vets Ready Employer Initiative. Vets Ready honors organizations across the state that build veteran support systems and connect with veterans in the community. It also helps employers attract and retain veteran talent. Applications are open now through July 18.
The annual Vets Ready award grants gold or silver certificates to businesses that support veterans and their families. DWD promotes employers that receive a Vets Ready recognition to veteran job seekers and community partners. Last year, DWD recognized a record 22 Vets Ready employers.
DWD partners with organizations including the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, the Disabled American Veterans Department of Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Veterans Chamber of Commerce, the Wisconsin American Legion, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserves, and the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.
