The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is seeking Wisconsin employers who go above and beyond for veterans for the Vets Ready Employer Awards. This designation honors organizations across the state that hire and retain veterans, build veteran support systems, and connect with veterans in the community. It also helps employers attract and retain veteran talent. Applications are open through Friday, July 18, 2025.
"We're pleased to spotlight Wisconsin employers who support veterans, their families, and the veteran community," said DWD Secretary Amy Pechacek. "We encourage employers to apply for the Vets Ready award and show how they're taking advantage of the skills that veteran employees offer."
