New Veterans Employment Tool Launched

Military members, veterans, and their spouses now have an easier way to find employment, announced First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden on Wednesday at Fort Campbell, Ky. The Veterans Employment Center is “the first online one-stop shopping tool for veterans,” according to an April 23 release. “Starting today, every single service member, every veteran, and every military family will have access to a new online tool that will revolutionize how you find jobs in both the public and private sectors,” said Obama. The website allows businesses to search and find résumés of veterans, service members, and spouses all in one location, states the release. Those who upload their résumés to the site just need an active LinkedIn or Google profile account. Joining Forces is a White House initiative intended to ensure that “no veteran has to fight for a job at home” after they return from service, according to the White House website.
