New Veterans
Business Support Center Helps Employers Hire Veterans
COLUMBUS, OHIO – Working in partnership with the Governor’s Office
of Workforce Transformation, the Ohio Department of
Veterans Services and OhioMeansJobs, the Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services (ODJFS) recently launched a new service to help match
employers with veterans looking for work: a Veterans Business Support
Center.
The Veterans Business Support Center offers employers online, over the
phone or face-to-face help finding skilled veteran candidates for jobs.
This assistance is provided by employment specialists who are veterans
themselves. They understand the challenges veterans face, as well as
the assets they bring to any workforce. The specialists can help
employers:
· Find qualified veteran candidates for job openings.
· Post jobs at ohiomeansjobs.com.
· Screen resumes.
· Find career fairs, workshops and other hiring events in their
area.
· Learn more about hiring incentive programs such as the Work
Opportunity Tax Credit.
· Learn more about the demographics of the veterans in their
area, including their education levels, skills and cities of residence.
“We often hear from employers that they would like to hire veterans but
don’t know where to find them,” said ODJFS Director Cynthia C. Dungey.
“The Veterans Business Support Center bridges that gap. It gives
employers easy access to a full range of specialized employment
services, all of which are provided completely free of charge.”
To access the center’s services online, employers simply visit
ohiomeansjobs.com and click on the icon that says “Veterans Business
Support Center.” For over-the-phone or in-person help, employers should
contact their local OhioMeansJobs Center or call 888-296-7541, option
5. To find the nearest OhioMeansJobs Center, visit ohiomeansjobs.com
