Veterans Employment Program (VEP)
Our Veterans Employment Program (VEP) supports our country’s veterans as they prepare for and secure rewarding civilian careers. Our lived experience staff works closely with our program participants as they become job ready.
Our Mission
To develop and promote a heart-felt partnership with the veterans we serve in which there is mutual care, concern, and determination for their well-being.
Our Vision
To ensure that veterans in Santa Clara County have access to the services necessary to improve their quality of life and that those veterans have the opportunity to raise their standard of living through the power of employment.
Our Approach
The VEP program has successfully placed over 870 veterans into employment. We partner with businesses and organizations to ensure our military service members get direct access to great jobs and rewarding careers. Our holistic approach also supports housing, transportation, health care navigation and paid job training opportunities (limited availability).
