Veteran Priority of Service

SC Works Catawba works with veterans to help them translate military skills and experiences into civilian terms that employers understand.

We work closely with Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veterans Employment Representatives (LVER) to ensure Veterans receive Priority of Service.

Additionally, we collaborate with the Office for Veterans' Workforce Development to ensure local employers receive hiring information.

We also provide case management services to Veterans for intensive and support services through possible skill upgrades and/or On-the-Job-Training (OJT) opportunities.
