In honor of Veterans Day (11/11/23), the State of Illinois would like to thank all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We appreciate your sacrifice to help protect us at home and abroad. Illinois, through the collaboration of networked partnerships, has many resources available to former and current Military Services Members (Active, Guard, and Reserve) as well as Military Spouses.
All veterans who have served at least one day on active duty, and received any discharge other than “dishonorable” receive priority of service under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). All recently discharged Veterans who have not obtained employment since separating from the Armed Forces are qualified for services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. To learn more about qualifying for WIOA, contact your local Illinois workNet Center by using the
Service Finder search
.
Be sure to register for the upcoming State of Illinois Recruitment Event taking place on November 8
th
. This event is open for registration for Veterans and their spouses. Attendees will have an opportunity to speak directly with panelists regarding employment opportunities and how to apply for job openings throughout the State of Illinois from multiple state agencies currently hiring.
