To help employers create and retain private sector jobs, the City of Manassas is proud to be a part of the V3 program – Virginia Values Veterans, bringing Veterans and employers together. By participating in this program, employers develop and implement long-term strategies and adopt nationally recognized best practices in recruiting, hiring and retaining Veterans! Veterans have given their service to our Nation and now they want to give their service to you. These men and women have valuable in-demand skills paid for by Uncle Sam—but more importantly they have intangible skill sets you can’t train for like; being on time and present, dressing for success, and unparalleled motivation and teamwork.
About the Program
Virginia has a unique opportunity to help Veterans gain career employment. Our Commonwealth has one of the youngest Veterans population in the United States, and the fastest growing Veteran labor force in the United States. Thousands of new Veterans enter Virginia’s workforce each year, and that number is projected to rise in the coming years.
While many employers are unaware of the value Veterans can bring to their workforce, thousands more are seeking to hire Veterans as a part of their workforce but don’t know how.
Two of the most frequent questions pertaining to Veteran employment, from an employer’s perspective are:
- Why should I hire a Veteran?
- Where can I find Veterans to hire?
The V3 Program not only aims to educate and train companies on why it is a good business decision to recruit, hire, train, and retain Veterans, but also to help those committed companies meet their hiring goals.
Here is a list of the V3 Certified Businesses in Manassas:
- Micron

- C&J Security Services
- Management and Training Consultants, Inc
- Manassas City Police Department.
