What is VetCentral?

VetCentral is the proprietary technology designed and developed by DirectEmployers to deliver federal contractor jobs for compliance with the Jobs for Veterans Act (JVA) and the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), provide priority veteran referrals, and act as a resource of current jobs for the over 1,800 local veterans’ employment representatives (LVERs) and disabled veteran outreach specialists (DVOPs), and Business Service Representatives throughout the country.

How It Works

VetCentral combines technology and automation to support DirectEmployers’ job listing services, a cornerstone of membership and compliance. Each day, this service is responsible for making over 4 million jobs available to American Job Centers (AJC) around the country.

For Employers

Jobs posted on employer career sites are electronically acquired each night and added to a file. Once complete, jobs are distributed via email to LVERs and/or DVOPs located at the American Job Center (AJC) nearest the job location, per VEVRAA requirements. Members are then provided with a daily report of job delivery confirmations and related information.

Note: Following the priority referral, jobs are then posted on the state job bank.

For State Workforce Staff

Each day, LVERs, DVOPs, and Business Services Representatives located at AJCs around the nation receive the VetCentral email, filled with job openings in their area, that they can pass on to the veterans, military spouses and transitioning service members they serve in their communities in hopes of helping connect them with meaningful employment opportunities.

Testimonials

Gary Wilson

District Supervisor (Gulfcoast District), Texas Veterans Commission

“Over the years I have provided job searching training/exercises for my case managed veterans to increase their individual job searching skills. Now I strongly recommend, VetCentral to my assigned veterans’ representatives to incorporate this valuable tool. It is a two-fold benefit for the veterans we serve: 1) It provides job application training and 2) It creates opportunities for employment. As we say in our line of business, ‘Your best bet, is to hire a Vet.’ We appreciate our partnership with VetCentral!”

Lisa Duckworth

Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER), Utah Department of Workforce Services
“VetCentral has been a tremendous resource! As Utah’s sole LVER, the daily emails from VetCentral have alerted me to available jobs that I can share with our veteran job seekers and fostered connections to employers I would have had to otherwise seek out. Thanks to this resource, employers have also reached out to me through DirectEmployers Partner Relationship Manager platform, giving me even more opportunities to share our programs and enroll more employers in the Utah Patriot Partnership. The personal connections between myself, DirectEmployers, and its Members have been invaluable to my work.”

Shawn Baker
