Maryland is committed to providing comprehensive employment services to veterans at our American Job Centers. Veterans and eligible spouses married to a veteran with (or whose death was caused by) a military service-connected disability are given a Priority of Service (POS). POS means that once identified at the point of entry, veterans as well as their eligible spouses will be served first at the centers.

You may take full advantage of POS if you have served at least one day in active military service with an honorable discharge. Each center has an onsite veterans representative dedicated to helping you navigate the employment, training, and job placement processes. Each center is ready to provide veterans and eligible spouses with career counseling, job search assistance, job referral and matching, resume help, workshops, and referrals to additional support services.
