Veteran Services

At Workforce Solutions, helping veterans and their families enter or return to the workforce is our privilege. We can help you assess how the skills you acquired in military service will fit in the Houston area job market. And if you want to get more education or training, we can help you do that, too.

We offer a variety of seminars about looking for work at multiple locations throughout the region. Check here for dates and locations.

Whether you left the armed forces 10 days ago or 10 years ago, your employment needs receive our immediate attention. Visit one of our local career offices to get started!
