About the Advisory Committee on Veterans Employment, Training, and Employer Outreach
The Advisory Committee on Veterans Employment, Training, and Employer Outreach (ACVETEO) is chartered to assess the employment and training needs of veterans and their integration into the workforce. ACVETEO determines the extent to which the programs and activities of the U.S. Department of Labor are meeting such needs, assists the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans Employment and Training with outreach to employers related to the advantages of hiring veterans, and makes recommendations about training and employer outreach activities to advance veteran employment.
ACVETEO meetings will now be held virtually. When a meeting is scheduled, instructions on how to participate virtually will be updated on this page.
