Why Work For VA?

Diversity and Inclusion

Be Yourself

There’s no such thing as a “typical” VA employee, just like there is no such thing as a typical Veteran. We welcome talented men and women from all races, ethnicities, religions and professional backgrounds.* VA recognizes that a diverse workforce, representative of our nation’s diversity, is critical to serving Veterans who come from all walks of life. We value your differences and the unique perspective you bring to the workplace.

In addition, the VA will provide reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals with disabilities and for religious practices, as provided by the applicable laws and procedures.
