V3 Employment Grant

Virginia is proud to be able to invest in companies who have committed to hiring Veterans. The knowledge, skills, and abilities today’s service members and Veterans gain in our modern military make them an extremely valuable talent pool for employers wishing to grow and improve organizational performance. In 2015, the General Assembly unanimously appropriated $100,000 for the purposes of establishing an employment grant for V3-certified employers. The Department of Veterans Services and the V3 Program will administer this grant fund so that all $100,000 goes to qualifying employers who have hired Veterans.
