Career Resources: Military/Veteran Job Help

This page concentrates a majority of its resources on helping veterans find jobs and transition out of the military. While there are local resources available, there are also a wide number of federal organizations that are equipped to help with this as well. If you are looking for more information about any of these subjects, please feel free to contact the library for any assistance.

The Quad Cities area encompasses both Iowa and Illinois. As a result, veterans are able to seek help from a wide variety of sources. Federal agencies, as well as state level agencies offer help for veterans looking for help finding jobs. Also be sure to look up your local county's website, as they are sure to have resources gathered for that specific area.
