Veterans Priority of Service
Veterans have made many sacrifices serving this great country and are an imperative part of Colorado’s workforce. The Colorado Workforce System is proud to honor Colorado veterans with priority of service.
Covered persons (veterans or eligible spouses) who meet the eligibility requirements for program participation are entitled to priority of service in any workforce development services funded, in whole or in part, by the Department of Labor.
At Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development, we assist veterans, transitioning service members, or eligible spouses with the resources and services to meet labor-market demands through employment and training opportunities. We ensure early priority on all job listings, job fairs and events, and other services for veterans.
For more services for veterans, visit the veterans page or contact our office at (970) 498-6600.

What is your most interesting or unusual job?
Do you have experience tapping into the hidden job market?
Yes, I secured my current role 5 years ago by reaching out to my former manager about volunteer opportunities, which ultimately led to a part-time, temporary position that has since become full-time with my current team at LCEWD!
Meet Terry Zimmer
Terry brings a decade of experience in workforce development to his role at LCEWD, where he's been assisting job seekers for nearly five years. His unique perspective comes from personal experience with career transitions, including adapting his skills to new roles after facing unemployment. He also gained valuable insights into the hiring process from the employer side through his time in healthcare recruiting. He enjoys connecting with people, offering practical guidance, and sharing insights that help them approach the job market with confidence.
What is your most interesting or unusual job?
I worked part-time for the triple A Omaha Royals where I transferred what was going on on the field to the internet. It involved coding every pitch and everything else going on in the game. My longest game was 18 innings and over 6 hours long. I got to bring my son along, sit in the air-conditioned press box, eat free food and get paid to watch baseball.
When you're not helping job seekers, what do you enjoy doing?
My favorite activity is riding my bicycle to stay in shape. You'll often find me on the Poudre Trail, riding from Bellvue to Greeley.
