This is Michigan’s bread-and-butter veteran employment program – a free service through
the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO). Veterans start the process by contacting Michigan Works! (1-800-285-9675 or michiganworks.org). From there, veterans with barriers to employment such as a disability or lacking a high school diploma will work with a Veterans’ Career Advisor (VCA) from LEO to prepare for employment. Then, when the veteran is job-ready, they’ll work with a Local Veterans’ Employment Representative (or LVER) from LEO to be matched with an employer.

LEO also provides Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) to both individuals with disabilities and companies. Potential employees get help preparing for, pursuing and retaining careers, while businesses get help in employee development, business consulting and corporate relations. In addition, private, for-profit employers that hire disabled veterans may qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), a federal business credit facilitated through LEO.
