As a military spouse, you have a distinct perspective on what it means to care for Veterans. You\u2019re educated, qualified and ready to serve families who have lived through experiences similar to your own. That\u2019s knowledge other candidates just can\u2019t duplicate.<\/p>\n

Last year, VA became the first federal agency to sign the\u00a04+1 Commitment<\/a>, a voluntary pledge by employers to adopt important employment policies designed to expand employment and career opportunities for military spouses.<\/p>\n

We know you have what it takes, but maybe you just need a little help finding the right fit for you. That\u2019s why we have programs and resources available to help you find a place on our team.<\/p>\n

A great place to start is the Veteran and Military Spouse Talent Engagement Program<\/a>\u00a0(VMSTEP), which provides employment readiness assistance and support while advocating the use of special hiring authorities, employment programs and retention strategies to position VA as the employer of choice for Veterans and military spouses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Work at VA <\/h2>\n
