The Center for Veteran Employment in the Outdoors (CVEO) exists to guide service members and veterans in their transition from a military career to a career in one of the many outdoor fields (recreation, conservation, outfitting, guiding, retail, and more).

The CVEO will be a resource for both job seeking veterans and employers. In this initial launch, we are seeking employers who believe in the CVEO mission. Job seekers-stay tuned!
