Hiring Veterans: Jobs of the week for July 13, 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs has released its weekly compilation of employment opportunities for the week of July 13, 2026, featuring dozens of positions across the country specifically targeting veterans. This regular update includes jobs from private employers, federal positions within VA itself, and several career development programs designed to help veterans transition their military skills into civilian careers. The listings span industries from technology and healthcare to retail and skilled trades, with opportunities in nearly every state.

These weekly job postings serve as part of VA's broader mission to support veteran employment and economic stability. While many disabled veterans focus primarily on healthcare and compensation benefits, employment support represents a critical component of the VA's services, particularly for those who are able to work despite service-connected disabilities. The jobs listed include both traditional employment opportunities and specialized programs like SkillBridge, which allows transitioning service members to gain civilian work experience during their final months of service, and franchise coaching sessions specifically designed for veteran entrepreneurs.

The opportunities affect veterans across all disability rating levels who are seeking employment or career changes. Some positions explicitly welcome disabled veterans, while others are open to all veterans regardless of disability status. Several listings highlight roles that may be particularly suitable for veterans with service-connected conditions, including remote and hybrid positions that offer workplace flexibility. The compilation also includes resources for women veterans, military spouses, and those interested in entrepreneurship rather than traditional employment.

This week's listings include specific opportunities with major employers like Home Depot, which has multiple Pro Customer Service and Sales Specialist positions across states including California, Iowa, Montana, and Wisconsin. Ford Motor Company is hiring a Maintenance Supervisor in Louisville, Kentucky, while Lockheed Martin has an Electronic Test Technician opening in Moorestown, New Jersey. Federal positions within VA itself range from Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors at multiple locations to specialized roles like a Chief Financial Officer in West Haven, Connecticut, and an Appellate Litigation Attorney in Washington, D.C. Several time-sensitive opportunities include the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly Virtual Job Fair on July 23 from noon to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, and the Soldiers to Sidelines Coaching Summit running July 23 through 25. Women veteran founders have until July 31 to apply for the Women Veterans Giving program supporting nonprofit or for-profit ventures.

For disabled veterans, these employment resources complement rather than replace disability compensation and other earned benefits. Working while receiving VA disability compensation is generally permitted, and employment can provide additional income, purpose, and community connection. Veterans should understand that most VA disability benefits are not means-tested, meaning employment income typically does not affect compensation payments, though some programs like VA Pension do have income limits. The skills veterans developed in service, including discipline, leadership, and problem-solving abilities, remain valuable assets in the civilian workforce regardless of disability status.

Veterans interested in these opportunities should act promptly, as the VA notes that most job listings close within seven to thirty days of posting. Those seeking federal employment should familiarize themselves with the federal hiring process through VA's Talk About It Tuesday sessions, which provide guidance on navigating applications and leveraging veterans' preference. Veterans uncertain about how employment might affect their specific benefits should consult with their local Veterans Service Organization or a VA vocational rehabilitation counselor before making career decisions. The VA continues to post updated listings weekly, making this a resource worth checking regularly for those in the job market.
