Operation: Job Ready Veterans

Operation: Job Ready Veterans Operation: Job Ready Veterans is a nonprofit organization that gets veterans back to work. As a service member returns home, it can often be a confusing time.

For example, while the U.S. Department of Defense requires all deactivating soldiers to participate in its Transition Assistance Program (TAP), this program is a short, resource dissemination workshop that covers several issues - employment being just one. Once a veteran is home, the public resources and services available for the veteran are often confusing and difficult to use. Our trained staff

, many of whom are veterans, have the professional expertise necessary to assist veterans in their transition. Our services include supportive services and resources, tactics for coping with change, skills inventories, career interest and work value assessments, resume services, networking strategies, employment preparation services and personal introductions to employers. Operation: Job Ready Veterans™ specializes in serving veterans with disabilities. OJRV connects employers with veteran candidates that have the skills needed to succeed in a highly competitive marketplace. OJRV's long term goal is to ensure that every veteran, service member and military family member that wants a job, gets a job.
