Job & Family Services Office of Workforce Development
Veterans Program
The goal of the Veterans Program is to eliminate unemployment and under-employment among Ohio's veteran population.

The Veterans Program Office develops policies and implements programs to increase opportunities for veterans to obtain employment and participate in job training programs. 

 

An important responsibility of the program is to ensure that veterans are treated with courtesy and respect at all offices and that veterans are given priority of service in referrals to job openings and other services.

Veterans can access a wide range of employment services through Ohio's local

Ohio Military Injury Relief Fund (MIRF)
Certain veterans are eligible to receive MIRF which provides grants to service members with a combat-related injury in the line of duty, including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), while serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) or Operation New Dawn (OND). The MIRF grant is exempt from federal and state taxes.
