Service women and men have been exposed to challenging conditions or may have limited civilian work experience and will benefit from career assistance, mentoring, and advisement. The Port of Seattle is in a position to assist veterans in refining the skills and abilities necessary for civilian employment.
Veterans Fellowships require a minimum of 3 years of active duty or mobilized reserve duty service in a branch of the U.S. Military Service which includes the United States Coast Guard.
Documentation of an honorable discharge from active or reserve status, or appropriate documentation of pending discharge while on terminal leave must be presented as part of the application process.
