Hiring Veterans: Jobs of the week for May 25, 2026

The Department of Veterans Affairs has released its weekly compilation of employment opportunities for the week of May 25, 2026, featuring positions from both private sector employers and VA facilities across the country. This regular job posting initiative connects veterans with companies and organizations actively seeking to hire individuals with military experience, recognizing the unique skills, discipline, and leadership abilities that veterans bring to civilian workplaces.

The VA's weekly job announcements serve as a centralized resource for veterans transitioning to civilian employment or seeking new career opportunities. These listings include positions ranging from entry-level roles to management positions across multiple industries, including retail, healthcare, engineering, aviation, and technology. The initiative also highlights SkillBridge opportunities, which allow transitioning service members to gain civilian work experience during their final months of service, as well as information about veteran-focused career fairs and entrepreneurial programs designed specifically for those who have served.

This week's listings span numerous states and include diverse opportunities suitable for veterans with varying skill sets and experience levels. Private sector positions include warehouse supervisors in Colorado, flight operations mechanics in Missouri, healthcare engineers in Texas, and sales specialists across multiple Home Depot locations in states including Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Additionally, VA facilities are hiring for clinical positions such as registered nurses, diagnostic radiologic technologists, and medical laboratory technicians, as well as administrative roles like vocational rehabilitation counselors and operations supervisors in locations from Delaware to Utah.

Several notable opportunities include SkillBridge positions with Texas Instruments in Dallas for equipment technicians and junior cloud engineers, allowing transitioning service members to build technical skills before separation. The Air National Guard is recruiting statewide in Maryland for intelligence and cyber roles, while nationwide franchise and entrepreneurial opportunities through Veteran Service Brands provide pathways for veterans interested in business ownership. The Vetrepreneur Franchise Academy has a start date of June 10, 2026, for veterans exploring franchise options.

For disabled veterans specifically, these employment opportunities represent more than just job listings—they offer pathways to financial stability, professional development, and community reintegration that can be particularly valuable when managing service-connected conditions. Many of the employers featured actively seek veterans because they understand the value of military training and the accommodations framework that supports disabled workers. VA employment positions are especially relevant for disabled veterans, as federal employment offers strong protections under veterans' preference hiring rules and comprehensive benefits packages that complement VA healthcare and disability compensation.

Veterans interested in these opportunities should act promptly, as the VA notes that most job listings close between seven and thirty days after posting. The source material emphasizes that veterans should verify all information directly with the organizations offering positions, as the VA's sharing of non-VA information does not constitute endorsement. Beyond individual job applications, veterans can benefit from attending the listed career fairs, including events scheduled in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma on May 30, 2026, Rome, Georgia on June 11, 2026, and Providence, Rhode Island on August 19, 2026. Google Veterans Career Week, a free three-day virtual event running June 9 through 11, offers additional career development resources for veterans, military spouses, and service members, with registration required by June 4.

Veterans seeking employment support should explore the full range of resources available through VA's jobs portal and consider connecting with their local Veteran Service Organization for assistance with resume preparation, interview skills, and understanding how employment income interacts with disability compensation and other benefits.
