The federal VOW to Hire Heroes Act calls on the U.S. Department of Labor to translate military skills and training to jobs in the civilian sector and simplify the process for veterans to secure necessary licenses and certifications. It also alters the language of the federal Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act to make it illegal for employers to create hostile work environments based on an employee’s status as a service member, using language similar to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
