The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) program (CFDA 17.801), administered by the Veterans Employment and Training Service, awarded $356,218 to the Department of Workforce Services Wyoming effective October 1, 2025, through December 31, 2027. This formula grant funds specialized employment services positions within American Job Centers, including Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialists who provide individualized career services to veterans with significant employment barriers, Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER) who conduct employer outreach and advocacy to increase veteran hiring opportunities, and Consolidated DVOP/LVER staff serving in dual roles. The funding supports services primarily directed toward economically disadvantaged, educationally disadvantaged, service-connected disabled, and homeless veterans.

Wyoming's state workforce agency will utilize these funds to prepare veterans and transitioning service members for meaningful careers by delivering employment resources, expertise, and direct job placement support within the state's job center network. No subawarding of funds occurs under this grant; the state agency directly administers all positions and services. Recipients must maintain comprehensive cost accounting, timekeeping, and performance records in accordance with applicable federal regulations and Veterans' Program Letters throughout the 27-month performance period.
