Veterans Employment Program Manager

Location: United States

Department: Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

Workplace: remote

Employment Type: contract

Description

WIL is seeking a Veterans Employment Program Manager to lead a program that helps veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness find and keep jobs.

About the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

The Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL) is an applied workforce research initiative. WIL builds methodology-transparent workforce intelligence, including labor demand signals, occupational and credential pathways, and training-to-employment outcome measures, and works with education, employer, research, and community partners to turn that evidence into grant and sponsored-project collaborations.

Opportunity type: this is a contingent proposal opportunity in WIL's expert collaborator network, not a funded vacancy. It supports a competitive grant application WIL is preparing; no award has been made, and there is no guaranteed work or funding. If an award proceeds and the staffing model calls for it, WIL may offer a project-based contract or consulting engagement. We will ask before naming you or including your resume in any proposal.

What you'll do

• Lead program design for outreach, intake, case management, and job placement
• Build partnerships with veteran service organizations, housing providers, workforce boards, and employers
• Plan job training, credential, and supportive-service offerings
• Coordinate with veteran health care and housing resources
• Track enrollment, placement, and job-retention outcomes
• Contribute qualifications and past-performance narrative to WIL proposals when you authorize naming

Apply to be considered.
