Welcome to the Pittsburgh Veteran Employer Coalition (PVEC) online toolkit. This toolkit includes a series of leading practices, processes, and resources for veterans, in the greater Pittsburgh region. This toolkit is designed to be flexible, allowing for the addition of new information and resources.
