Veterans Day 2023
CTDOL Celebrates and Honors Connecticut Veterans
The Labor Department has a special duty to veterans. With career assistance, workforce training, and as the conduit to other key programs, we help veterans and service members bring their skills, training, and leadership to businesses throughout Connecticut. CTDOL Local Veterans’ Employment Representatives and Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program Specialists served in the Armed Forces themselves; they are experts at guiding veterans through the transition into civilian jobs and life outside the military. From the agency’s front lines to our back offices, CTDOL is privileged and honored to have veterans throughout our own ranks who bring diverse experiences, expertise, and leadership to their units. On this Veterans Day, we thank all who served.
