Indiana National Guard: Indiana Outreach and Employment

What We Do

The Indiana National Guard’s Indiana Outreach and Employment program works to assist service members, veterans and their dependents with all phases of a job search. If you are currently unemployed, underemployed or looking for a new career, Indiana Outreach and Employment is here to help you begin the process of finding meaningful employment. We work directly with job seekers to: identify your skills and interests, create your resume, research job opportunities, utilize your network and prepare for interviews.

Relationships and Employers
State Veterans Benefits
Federal Veterans Benefits

Indiana Outreach and Employment follows up with job seekers and employers in order to develop positive long-term relationships that benefit job seekers. These interactions also help us identify skill sets that employers are looking for, so that we can better identify applicants to match an employer’s needs.

We have working relationships with more than 20 major companies across the state, in communities including Brazil, Carmel, Columbus, Elkhart, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Merrillville, Princeton and Warsaw.

Our cooperative relationship with the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) allows us to share job leads and to ensure that all veterans who contact us regarding their state benefits are promptly and effectively served.
