Throughout your military career, you’ve submitted all kinds of paperwork to VA. From setting up your hard-earned Veterans benefits to applying for the health care you deserve and everything in between. But, there is one form you may not have considered sending: a job application. When planning for your future outside of the military, consider these reasons to join VA today.
Find your fit-
Now that you’ve transitioned from the military, maybe you’re ready to go back home or explore a new part of the country. No matter where you want to go, VA has locations across the nation and is waiting to welcome you into your new role.
Depending on your skillset, you can pick from more than 1,300 health care facilities that vary from urban outpatient clinics to rural medical centers. Don’t let lack of health care experience discourage you; non-medical professionals have an array of options at VA—many of which align with the day-to-day operations of military units.
Witness your worth-
Reinventing yourself after years of service can be a challenging experience. At VA, we don’t want you to hide the experiences that have shaped you into who you are.
VA employees work under a set of core values—a familiar concept to service members—that guide every action. We honor Veterans, their families and their caregivers by providing them with higher standards of care in recognition of their sacrifices. Working at VA gives you the chance to connect with other Veterans on a deeper level and understand their concerns.
Access advanced technology-
Much like the military, our people will always be our greatest resource. Working with VA at the forefront of health care practice and clinical innovation is certainly a plus, however.
Advancements in telehealth have made VA a leader in the field, and health care tools are constantly being refined through research and technical developments to meet the needs of Veterans.
Enjoy exceptional benefits-
No matter the circumstance, you looked after your team and kept them squared away when the going got tough. When you join VA, we’ll do the same for you.
Generous compensation packages with paid time off, quality health-care options for your family, and federal retirement plans are only a few of the incentives we offer to get you excited for your first day at VA.
Expand your education-
If you are unsure about the next step in your professional development, don’t worry. There is no shortage of learning opportunities when you start your new job at VA.
We offer leadership development opportunities from the ground level to senior executives, as well as scholarships, debt forgiveness programs, or education incentives that can help get you where you want to be.

The VA needs you. You know the needs of the people in the halls because you were there. Currently the VAs are woefully understaffed but have finally received the go ahead to hire and fill many empty positions. It adds to your pension. You can be a janitor, nurse, take a certified nurses assistant class and join a care team. There may be direct skills you have that match vacancies, the long wait times will continue until the positions are filled. Why not you?
