Governor DeWine Announces New Employment
Services for Veterans and Military Spouses
|
|
(COLUMBUS,
Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Job and
Family Services (ODJFS) Director Matt Damschroder today announced
two new services for veterans and military spouses on
OhioMeansJobs.com.
Veterans registered on the website are now prompted to complete a
brief questionnaire asking if they would like to receive one-on-one
help with their job searches. In addition, the resumes of military
spouses are now designated with a red and blue “S” to make them
stand out to military-friendly employers – much like veterans’
resumes that are flagged with a “V.”
"We are proud that Ohio is home to the fifth-largest veteran
population in the nation and we are always looking for ways to
support our military members and their families," said Governor
DeWine. "By offering individualized assistance to veterans and
military spouses during their job search, we are creating another
way to say ‘thank you’ to our servicemen and women and continuing
our commitment to making Ohio the most military-friendly state in
the country.”
Veterans who indicate they would like one-on-one assistance with
their job searches are contacted by an employment specialist at
their local OhioMeansJobs Center. Ohio has OhioMeansJobs Centers in
every county. Veterans and their spouses can visit the centers for
help writing their resumes, practicing interviewing, and applying
for jobs in their area. They also can attend employment workshops,
get career coaching, and get referrals to local training program
service providers. All veterans in Ohio are given priority of
service in referrals to job openings and other services.
“Ohio’s 700,000-plus servicemen and women served our nation
honorably, and their spouses have made sacrifices as well,” said
Director Damschroder. “These are just two additional ways we can
repay them, by helping connect them to meaningful civilian
employment with employers who value and honor them.”
At OhioMeansJobs.com, veterans can get help translating their
military job experience into civilian experience, post their
resumes, and find hiring events in their area. They also can view a
Military-Friendly Employer Registry which lists employers who are
looking to recruit and hire veterans. To date, more than 7,400 Ohio
employers have designated themselves as military-friendly. This
means they are interested in employing and supporting members of the
military, veterans, and their spouses.
