Veterans as Employees: Resource For Employers
I came across an interesting resource for employers the other day that I think makes a lot of sense. It’s called the Department of Veteran Affairs’ Veteran Benefits Administration’s Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR & E) Program, and it’s an amazing win-win situation for business owners.
This program gives rehabilitation services to veterans who have been disabled due to their time serving our nation, and then helps them find jobs.
There are obvious advantages for the veteran who is trained at a new skill, but there are also benefits for employers who hire someone from this program. Those who do may qualify for incentives through the V R & E program or other Federal Resources.
The veterans who have completed this program are trained to be excellent employees and extremely valuable in their field. According to the V R & E website, some of the benefits of hiring one of these veterans include:
· Program participants are mature, motivated and disciplined workers.
· Program participants are pre-screened for your specific employment needs.
· Program participants have been proven to be reliable, dependable, and able to perform in stressful situations.
· Program participants are dedicated team players.
To learn more about how this program might help you, visit the Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment website.
