Veterans

Veterans transitioning from military careers to civilian ones are a unique and valued asset for the community here in Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, and Union counties. They bring distinct talents, knowledge, and experience that can enrich our businesses and support their success.

CareerSource Florida Crown helps veterans make a successful transition by providing a host of services, at no cost, so veterans can excel in the civilian workforce.

Veterans can work with staff at any of CareerSource Florida Crown Career Centers to find jobs, improve skills and education, plan a new career, and take advantage of the resources we offer. CareerSource Florida Crown staff members are experts at converting military job skills to match civilian employer needs, and are committed to helping veterans.

Veterans attempting to return to the workforce after military service can face a number of obstacles. Having knowledge of the tax credits employers may be eligible for when hiring a veteran, can be a powerful bargaining chip when attempting salary negotiations – click here for full details.
