To support those who’ve served the nation, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, along with Lt. Governor Jon Husted, has called upon employers to extend job opportunities to veterans throughout the state this November, designating it as Hire-A-Veteran Month, an initiative that underscores the value veterans bring to the civilian workforce. According to a news release from the
Ohio Department of Job and Family Services
, Governor DeWine emphasized the level of dedication and commitment veterans can contribute to businesses, stating, “Our Ohio veterans have selflessly served our state and nation to protect our freedoms and keep us safe, and they bring that same level of dedication to the workplace.”
Reinforcing the Governor’s message, Lt. Governor Jon Husted pointed to the unique and invaluable assets veterans can offer employers, “If you want to thank a veteran, hire one,” he said, “Veterans bring unparalleled skills, dedication, and leadership to the workforce their commitment to teamwork, resilience, and mission-driven focus make them invaluable employees who strengthen any organization they join.” The state of

, boasting a veteran population of nearly 700,000, offers various resources through OhioMeansJobs.com and its corresponding OhioMeansJobs Centers to prioritize service to veterans and their spouses. The statement further indicates the state’s devotion to assisting veterans in their post-service employment endeavors.
Furthermore, the availability of Ohio’s “Military-Friendly Employer Registry,” which now features a new interactive map building on the ease of access for veterans seeking employment, appears as a continued investment in these community members; the map allows for streamlined searches of prospective employers by various filters, such as county, ZIP code, industry, and employer name. This tool, detailed in the

official release, exemplifies Ohio’s commitment to veterans as it paves the way for their integration into a workforce that recognizes and values their experience and skills.
The spotlight on veterans comes at a time when job opportunities can make a significant difference in the transition from military to civilian life; it’s clear that the leadership of Ohio recognizes this and is actively taking steps to facilitate this change for their veterans, with Governor DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted taking the helm in urging employers to understand the potential veterans hold and to translate that respect into tangible job offers during Hire-A-Veteran Month and indeed, throughout the rest of the year.
