Priority of Service

Military veterans are an imperative part of Colorado's workforce. Veterans have made many sacrifices serving this great country. For that reason, the Colorado workforce system is proud to honor Colorado veterans with Priority of Service. Veterans are defined as those that have served one day active duty in the military and who is discharged or released from service under any condition other than dishonorable.
