Veteran Services

Veteran Services can be accessed through the Workforce Centers and Homebase Wichita

Employment and training services are available to eligible veterans through the Workforce Centers of South Central Kansas. Veterans should visit their local Workforce Center to determine their eligibility and meet with a Veterans Employment Specialist.

A Veterans Employment Specialist has a large reservoir of information regarding jobs, education/training opportunities, veterans’ rights and benefits, laws affecting veterans, employment trends, and all services available through the Workforce Centers including but not limited to:

One-on-one job search assistance
Resume and cover letter review
Referral to employment opportunities
Referral to veterans programs

Please present your DD-214 (Member 4 or Service 2) with you when you visit. If you do not have your DD-214, our Workforce Center staff will be glad to assist you in obtaining one or you can follow the links below:

Veteran Priority Statement

The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) utilizes grant funding for employment and training services to eligible residents and workers. As a condition of receiving these funds, priority of service will be given to qualified veterans when referring individuals to job openings, DOL-funded training programs or related services. In accordance with the implementation of the Veterans' Priority Provisions of the "Jobs for Veterans Act" (PL 107-288), qualified veterans will receive priority referral to services over non-veterans as determined by each program's mandatory eligibility criteria. Information and assistance will be provided by Workforce Center staff regarding available employment programs, training opportunities and services, eligibility requirements and priority.

The KANSASWORKS registration process has been developed to determine veterans' eligibility, and an American Flag identifies veterans' resumes listed on KANSASWORKS for employers. For more information on program eligibility and Veteran Priority details visit or contact your local Workforce Center. Veteran Employment and Training staff and Workforce Center staff are available to discuss program eligibility and veterans' priority. Additional staff are on location at McConnell Air Force Base.
