Your service matters—and so does your future. Wyoming’s Workforce Centers proudly support veterans, transitioning service members, and eligible family members or caregivers as you move into civilian employment or take the next step in your career.
Wyoming employers value the skills veterans bring to the workforce, and many offer hiring preference. We’re here to help you turn your military experience into meaningful, long-term employment.
Priority of Service for Veterans
Veterans and other eligible individuals receive Priority of Service at all Wyoming Workforce Centers. This means you get earlier access to employment, training, and supportive services than non-veterans who qualify for the same programs.
Priority of Service helps you move faster toward your goals—whether you’re looking for a job now or planning your next career step.
Services Available to Veterans
Workforce Centers offer a wide range of free services to support your employment and training goals, including:
- Job search and job placement assistance
- Referrals to education and training programs
- Résumé and job application support
- Career counseling and planning
- Skills and interest assessments
- Labor market and wage information
- Connections to supportive services
Many locations also have Veteran Employment Specialists who understand military experience and provide one-on-one assistance tailored to veterans’ needs.
