Employment for Veterans

At the Kentucky Career Center – Lincoln Trail, we know the value of veteran talent. Our staff – which includes Local Veterans Employment Representatives, Disabled and Veterans Outreach Program Specialists and several other veterans – is here to connect you to opportunities in the civilian workforce. At our career centers, veterans receive no-cost priority service to help with the transition to post-military careers.

Our personalized services include:

  • Developing an employment search strategy
  • Providing job leads
  • Sharing valuable information about the local labor market
  • Identifying transferrable military skills and helping you communicate those attributes to potential employers
  • Staging mock job interviews

If your desired career path requires additional training, we can help you find those opportunities, too.

Additionally, there are multiple employment and training programs available exclusively to veterans. We can help you navigate those resources.

For assistance with your job search or career training, call us to make an appointment for in-depth services or visit a career center. Please note that a DD214 form is required to confirm your veteran status.

You might be eligible for Unemployment Insurance Benefits when you complete military services and start your employment search or if you lose your civilian job.

The Gold Card initiative provides unemployed post-9/11 veterans with enhanced, intensive services including up to six months of follow-up through a joint effort of the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration and the Veterans’ Employment and Training Services (VETS).
