Veteran Placement
The State of Oklahoma gives priority to U.S. veterans in the hiring process. Veterans with a certification letter from OMES' Office of Veterans Placement are entitled to an interview for any position for which they meet the minimum qualifications. This policy ensures interview consideration but does not guarantee an offer of employment. If you are an OVP-certified veteran and did not receive an interview, please contact hr@oem.ok.gov.
