For Employers
The Greater Washington region is the second largest region in the country for employers seeking IT workers.
As the need for qualified tech talent rapidly grows, organizations are getting creative in sourcing tech talent and are turning to Veterans to fill tech positions.
The VEI provides support to NVTC member companies in their efforts to recruit, hire, train and retain qualified Veteran talent.
Why Hire Veterans?
99% of employers surveyed who hired a Veteran said they recommended that other firms do so as well.
Veterans and their unique technical skill sets, leadership and teamwork skills can provide your organization with a competitive advantage.
The VOW to Hire Heroes Act provides tax credits of up to $9,600 to businesses that hire vets.

Regional Recruiting Events
VEI Recruiting Days and Military District of Washington Veteran Employment Transition Summits
Connect with top Veteran candidates at VEI Recruiting Days!
The VEI partners with the Military District of Washington (MDW), Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Virginia Employment Commission and Veteran support organizations to host recruiting events to match Veteran-friendly companies with Veteran and military spouse job seekers.
Unlike traditional job fairs where candidates circulate to employer tables, our events are uniquely designed to personally connect employers with small groups of Veterans in a round-robin format. Recruiters present their companies and job openings directly to the jobseekers in 15-minute sessions, enabling more efficient networking and interviewing.
Contact Steve Jordon to participate in an upcoming Recruiting Day or view the event list.

The V3 Program educates trains, connects, and certifies its companies at no cost to the employer. Contact V3 Northern Virginia Program Manager Rick Ferry to learn more about getting certified and upcoming trainings.
