VR&E works to match Veterans with employers for successful careers, and offers incentives such as: Through the on-the-job training program, VR&E subsidizes Veterans’ salaries so that employers pay an apprentice-level wage while training Veterans. As the Veteran progresses, the employer pays a larger portion of the Veteran’s salary, until the training program is completed and the employer is paying the full salary.

VR&E can provide specialized tools, equipment, and workplace modifications to eligible Veterans, allowing them to perform their duties. These valuable services help Veterans without additional cost to employers.

Through the Special Employer Incentive program, employers may receive an incentive to hire Veterans facing extraordinary obstacles to employment, which includes reimbursement of as much as 50 percent of the Veteran’s salary for up to six months.
