Louisiana Works Veterans' Services and Priority of Service

Louisiana Workforce Commission (Louisiana Works)
No-cost employment services with priority of service

You get job assistance, training referrals and placement services through Louisiana Works, plus priority of service for every Louisiana Works job training program. Priority of service means you are served ahead of people who are not eligible, either earlier in time or, when a resource is limited, instead of them.

Check eligibility

How to apply

Contact the nearest Louisiana Workforce Commission office and ask for the veterans’ staff. Say you are claiming priority of service when you register.

What you'll need

Your DD214 to establish veteran status, or your marriage certificate and the veteran’s casualty or VA disability documentation if you are qualifying as a spouse.

Eligibility

  • You are looking for work or job training in Louisiana
  • You are a veteran who served on active duty other than for training for 180 days or more with a discharge other than dishonorable, a veteran released after less than 180 days because of a service-connected disability with a discharge other than dishonorable, a reserve component member ordered to active duty during a period of war or a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge is authorized with a discharge other than dishonorable, or the spouse or unremarried surviving spouse of a veteran who died of a service-connected disability, of a service member listed 90 or more days as missing in action, captured in the line of duty or forcibly detained by a foreign government, of a veteran with a total service-connected disability rating from the VA, or of a veteran who died while that disability existed
