New Online Hiring Resource For Veterans

Veterans in New York State now have a new way to look for work.

Governor Cuomo is announcing the launch of an online service designed to help Veterans find temporary employment offered by New York State.

Veterans can use the website upload resumes apply for jobs in disaster assistance, transportation construction inspector and highway maintenance worker and seasonal positions such as lifeguard and tax information aide.

“We owe all of our Veterans a tremendous debt of gratitude for their service, and helping them find employment is an important way to support them here at home,” Governor Cuomo said. “By connecting Veterans with job opportunities in their area, this new online portal will help the men and women of the armed forces leverage their skills and experiences and ultimately grow their careers. This is another example of how New York State is working to put Veterans first, and I want to thank Senator Ball and Assemblyman Benedetto for their work in making this new resource possible.”

 

The Veterans' Temporary Hiring Program is the result of an amendment to the Veterans Employment Act.

You can learn more about the program, including how to apply by visiting the Department of Civil Service website.
