Explore the resources available to Veterans who want to work at VA

When planning for your future outside of the military, consider a career with VA, where you can join thousands of other Veteran employees who build unique connections with our patients and Veterans just like you who can benefit from your shared experiences.

"Because I am a Veteran, I want to do my best to do whatever it is that I can to serve Veterans," explained Dana Jones, a Coast Guard Veteran and program manager at VA. "I have the honor of being able to come to work every day and know that what I'm working towards is working for the benefit of all Veterans."

As you pursue a VA career, the Veteran and Military Spouse Talent Engagement Program (VMSTEP) can help. VMSTEP provides employment readiness assistance and support while advocating the use of special hiring authorities, employment programs and retention strategies to position VA as the employer of choice for Veterans and military spouses.

"Just having programs that help Veterans and their spouses with their resumes, with interview techniques and things like that, with landing the job that they want… VA is here to help you," said Bradley Page, an Army Reserve Veteran who now works as a management and program analyst for the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA).

VMSTEP can also help you navigate the special hiring authorities that are available to Veterans, including the Veterans' Recruitment Appointment (VRA) and the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 (VEOA) authority.
