The OJRV Difference

“You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
– A.A. Milne

Our Commitment

Whether you wore the uniform or are still wearing it, Operation: Job Ready Veterans believes you have earned our unwavering support. Across all locations, our Employment Transition Managers proudly serve veterans and service members from all eras and branches.
Because a service member’s family sacrifices right alongside them, we extend our full services to military spouses, caregivers, and dependents. This dedicated focus on the entire family sets us apart in the veteran employment space.

Our Program Is Unique

While many organizations support the military community, Operation: Job Ready Veterans uniquely meet transitioning veterans, service members, and military families exactly where they are. We provide critical services that bridge transitional gaps and empower our military community to achieve their employment and career goals, regardless of service branch or era.

Women Veterans Initiative

On July 31, 2024, Operation: Job Ready Veterans (OJRV) Employment Transition Manager Jordan Hopkins conducted a virtual workshop with Purdue Global for the Indiana University/Purdue Global/Focus Forward Fellowship. The presentation guided roughly 50 students on how to effectively brand themselves on social media, on their resumes, and in social settings. Moving forward, OJRV aims to expand these virtual workshop offerings using its team of Employment Transition Managers. This initiative is designed to grow our clientele by encouraging students to utilize OJRV’s services for resume writing, job readiness coaching, and employment searches.
Additionally, with assistance from current OJRV Board Member Dr. Christie Lodics and Board Member Dorothy Simpson-Taylor, PhD, OJRV hosted a women veterans focus group at our headquarters on September 18, 2024. Open to women veterans around Indianapolis, the event provided lunch, refreshments, and an opportunity to gather critical feedback on how the Roudebush Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) can improve healthcare experiences. Attendees also learned how to pursue employment opportunities within the Department of Veterans Affairs. After capturing key action items and receiving updates on recent changes within the VA medical system, the group spent time networking and resolved to meet again in six months.
