Veterans Priority of Service

Veterans have made many sacrifices serving this great country and are an imperative part of Colorado’s workforce. The Colorado Workforce System is proud to honor Colorado veterans with priority of service.

Covered persons (veterans or eligible spouses) who meet the eligibility requirements for program participation are entitled to priority of service in any workforce development services funded, in whole or in part, by the Department of Labor.

At Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development, we assist veterans, transitioning service members, or eligible spouses with the resources and services to meet labor-market demands through employment and training opportunities. We ensure early priority on all job listings, job fair and events, and other services for veterans.

For more services for veterans, visit the veterans page or contact our office at (970) 498-6600.

If you are a veteran, please consider completing the Veterans Triage Form.  This form is used to determine your eligibility for additional services and is intended solely to provide priority to Eligible Veterans or Eligible Spouses or Persons that meet certain criteria. This information is being requested on a voluntary basis and will be kept confidential. Refusal to provide the information will not subject you to any adverse consequences.
