Be Connected Employment Services

Strengthening how service members, veterans, and their families connect to meaningful employment across Arizona.

As part of the Arizona Roadmap to Veteran Employment, a statewide employment initiative, Be Connected engages public and private sector organizations to ensure they are equipped to recruit, hire and retain military-affiliated talent.

Be Connected brings together public and private sector partners to improve how people access opportunities, how employers engage military-affiliated talent, and how systems work together to reduce barriers to employment.

Rather than operating as a single program, Be Connected Employment Services functions as a coordinated, statewide approach designed to support transition service members, veterans, and their spouses at every stage of their employment journey.
