Services for Veterans
North Carolina’s Employment Security Commission has a dedicated
veteran service staff assigned in 60 local offices to ensure the
delivery of the highest caliber of employment and training services to
veterans throughout the state and to ensure the application of
preference and/or priority services to veterans as prescribed by
federal, state, and local laws. Local veteran employment
representatives (LVERs) and disabled veteran outreach specialists
(DVOPs) are trained and ready to assist veterans with their
employment and training needs. For assistance, contact your local
employment security office today.
For more information contact: Director, ESC Veterans Employment Service
at (919) 733-7724.
The Veterans' Employment and Training
Service (VETS)
The VETS is an organization within the U.S. Department of Labor that is closely affiliated with the
ESC in our mission to help veterans secure meaningful, career employment. Additionally, the VETS
staff within North Carolina has several responsibilities unrelated to ESC's functions. VETS
provides technical assistance to employers, veterans and members of Reserve components
regarding nondiscrimination and employment protections related to covered military service,
and investigates and resolves related claims. They have a similar responsibility regarding
veterans' employment preference with federal agencies and departments. VETS role with
businesses that contract with federal agencies and departments is somewhat different in
that they promote compliance with the job listing, affirmative action and non-discrimination
provisions of the contracts and collect the VETS 100 reports filed annually by each
contractor. VETS provides administrative support to the
Presidents National Hire Veterans Committee.
