Employ one veteran. Then employ more

Veteran-preferred hiring, apprenticeship slots, or a full pipeline commitment. Leverage the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) while building an operationally strong workforce.

Why hire veterans

Four operational reasons. One mission reason

  • Leadership under pressure

    Military roles require making decisions with incomplete information. That generalizes.

  • Team discipline

    Team performance is the default mode, not the exception. Onboarding time collapses.

  • Fast-learner pattern

    Military training is compressed, documented, and outcome-measured. Veterans transfer that pattern to new skills.

  • Mission orientation

    Veterans join organizations with missions. They stay. Retention is a measurable cost saving.

Levels of commitment

Pick your lane

  • STARTING LINE

    One veteran hire

    A single commitment to interview and place one qualified CHV-referred veteran inside a named time window.

  • DEEPER COMMITMENT

    Apprenticeship slot

    A skill-based apprenticeship or on-the-job training slot reserved for a CHV-referred veteran, structured over 6 to 18 months.

  • MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP

    Veteran-preferred pipeline

    A standing hiring preference for CHV-referred veterans across named roles, with quarterly reporting on interviews, offers, and placements.

  • CAPACITY-BUILDER

    Training and credentialing

    Co-sponsor a credentialing cohort (Commercial Driver's License, certifications, skilled-trades prep) with job placement on completion.

The tax credit math

Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC)

Employers who hire qualified veterans can claim WOTC credits of up to $9,600 per hire, depending on category. Veterans receiving disability compensation, veterans with a service-connected disability who have been unemployed for six months, and veterans receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits all qualify. CHV does not process WOTC paperwork, but we help you identify eligible candidates inside our placement pool.

What CHV does on your side

Your hiring pipeline. Pre-qualified

  • Verified veterans with service history confirmed through DD-214 or VA records

  • Known case manager backstop for the first 6 months of employment

  • Soft-skills coaching (interview prep, professional norms, conflict resolution) provided in partnership with workforce orgs

  • Honest candidate profiles. We do not oversell. If a veteran is not ready for a role, we say so.
