Veteran Services


OESC offers various services help transitioning service members and veterans find the resources and support they need to succeed in today's job market. Eligible veterans and spouses can receive 1-on-1 career counseling and job search assistance, and all veterans receive priority when services or resources are limited.

Tailored Employment Services for Veterans

Military service members, veterans and spouses may be eligible to receive personalized career services available through the Jobs for Veterans State Grant (JVSG). The JVSG team, consisting entirely of veterans, who are stationed across the state have received extensive training to help veterans access local, state and federal resources to overcome barriers to employment, as well as how to be successful when searching for work. This includes helping veterans navigate searching, finding and applying for jobs, including federal jobs and connect them with local employers who are hiring. Veterans seeking any support can connect with the veterans services team by visiting an Oklahoma Works office.

Veteran Job Clubs & Hiring Events

Each month, OESC hosts "Veteran Job Clubs" across the state which are smaller more intimate hiring events specifically for veterans and military. Veterans have the opportunity to hear about career opportunities from various companies and then meet with each company one-on-one to review opportunities, match qualifications, ask questions, and/or connect with hiring managers.
