Jobs of the week for June 22, 2026
The Department of Veterans Affairs has released its weekly employment roundup for the week of June 22, 2026, featuring dozens of job opportunities across the country specifically targeting veterans seeking civilian employment. The listings span multiple industries and experience levels, from entry-level retail positions to specialized technical roles, with several opportunities available through the SkillBridge program that allows transitioning service members to gain civilian work experience during their final months of service.
The VA's jobs program serves as a centralized clearinghouse connecting veterans with employers who actively seek to hire individuals with military experience. By aggregating these opportunities weekly, the VA helps bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment, recognizing that many employers value the discipline, leadership, adaptability and problem-solving skills that veterans bring to the workplace. The program also includes positions within the VA itself, allowing veterans to continue serving their fellow veterans while building federal careers that often come with enhanced benefits and veterans preference in hiring.
This week's listings include opportunities in nearly every region of the country, from California to Virginia, with positions ranging from healthcare roles within the VA system to corporate positions with major employers like Ford Motor Company, Texas Instruments, Red Bull, and Home Depot. Several SkillBridge opportunities are featured, including positions with CRIBL in Washington D.C. and Texas Instruments in Dallas for roles such as Equipment Technician and Junior Cloud Engineer. The VA is also hiring for multiple positions including Medical Instrument Technicians nationwide, Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors at various locations, and specialized healthcare roles such as Nurse Practitioners and Diagnostic Radiologic Technologists.
Beyond traditional employment, the roundup highlights entrepreneurial resources available to veterans, including the Women Veterans Giving program accepting applications through July 31 for women veteran founders looking to launch or grow nonprofit or for-profit ventures. The Vetrepreneur Franchise Academy has a start date of July 10, 2026, providing veterans with training and resources to enter franchise ownership. These programs recognize that many veterans prefer to channel their leadership experience into business ownership rather than traditional employment.
For disabled veterans specifically, these employment opportunities represent pathways to financial stability and career fulfillment that complement disability compensation rather than replace it. Most veterans can work while receiving VA disability benefits without penalty, and employment often provides access to additional healthcare options, retirement savings, and professional development that enhance overall quality of life. The variety of remote positions listed this week, including roles with Konecranes and various SkillBridge opportunities, may be particularly valuable for disabled veterans managing service-connected conditions that make traditional office environments challenging.
Veterans interested in these opportunities should act quickly, as the VA notes that most job listings close within seven to thirty days of posting. The source material emphasizes that veterans should verify all information directly with the organizations offering positions, as the VA does not endorse specific employers but rather facilitates connections. Those seeking additional employment resources can explore the VA's ongoing career events and specialized programs like Mission Innovation at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which specifically targets veterans and military spouses for federal employment opportunities that offer long-term career stability.
