MADISON \u2014 The Department of Workforce Development (DWD) is seeking Wisconsin employers who go above and beyond for veterans for the Vets Ready Employer Awards. This designation honors organizations across the state that hire and retain veterans, build veteran support systems, and connect with veterans in the community. It also helps employers attract and retain veteran talent. Applications are open through Friday, July 18, 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to spotlight Wisconsin employers who support veterans, their families, and the veteran community,\u201d said DWD Secretary Amy Pechacek. \u201cWe encourage employers to apply for the Vets Ready award and show how they\u2019re taking advantage of the skills that veteran employees offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
This annual award grants gold or silver certificates to businesses that support veterans and their families. DWD promotes employers that receive Vets Ready recognition to veteran job seekers and community partners. Last year, DWD recognized a record 22 Vets Ready employers.<\/p>\n
