We are a V3 Certified Employer

Gloucester County’s Human Resources Department is pleased to announce that the County is a V3 “Virginia Values Veterans” Certified Employer. In doing so, the government organization has made a commitment to hire veterans into its workforce.

As part of the certification process, the County’s Human Resources staff were educated and trained on why it is a good business decision to recruit, hire, train, and retain Veterans. The program teaches employers to help them implement nationally recognized best practices in recruiting, hiring, and retaining highly skilled and dependable Veterans.

The V3 Program is an official Commonwealth of Virginia Program and is organized under the Veterans Education, Training, and Employment (VETE) division within the Virginia Department of Veterans Services (DVS), an agency of the Secretary of Veterans and Defense Affairs.

For more information on the program, visit  https://dvsv3.com/about or contact Gloucester Human Resources at  804-693-5690.
