Arizona Department of Economic Security Veterans Employment Assistance and Priority of Service

Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES)
No-cost career and training services with priority of service

Arizona DES offices have dedicated staff who give veterans and covered family members one-on-one career and training help, including tutoring and study skills, help finishing secondary school, alternative school services, mentoring, paid and unpaid work experience such as internships, apprenticeships and job shadowing, occupational skills training, leadership development, supportive services, guidance counseling and follow-up. You also get priority of service, which means earlier access to a service or resource and, when resources are limited, access before or instead of others.

Check eligibility

How to apply

Find your nearest DES office with the office locator and tell staff you are a veteran or covered person so they apply priority of service.
