What INvets does

INvets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, founded in 2017 by veterans to assist U.S. military veterans, active duty service members, and military spouses in transitioning to civilian life and employment within Indiana. The organization operates a web-based platform built on the Rollie Jobs AI-powered workforce intelligence engine, which aggregates, analyzes, and publishes local job postings in real time and matches veteran candidates to employer opportunities based on skills and interests. INvets delivers services through Veteran Employment Managers (VEMs) who provide 1:1 concierge support covering resume building, interview preparation, company research, and career planning, supplemented by wraparound resources for relocation, financial incentives, education, and community integration.

The platform connects veterans to a network of 550+ Indiana employer partners spanning banking, logistics, healthcare, manufacturing, technology, utilities, construction, aerospace, agriculture, and government, with access to an estimated 150,000+ unfilled career opportunities statewide. INvets' business model is freemium for end users — all veteran services are free — with the organization funded through corporate sponsorships, employer partnerships, donations, and grants. Distribution combines a self-serve web platform (app.rolliejobs.com), direct staff engagement at job fairs and military base visits, social media channels, email newsletters, and a referral network driven by employer partners. Strategic employer integrations include a Skillbridge partnership with Fortune 500 financial services firm Thrivent and dedicated veteran hiring programs at companies such as Zimmer Biomet and Total Quality Logistics.
