Those That

SERVED

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a Vocational Rehabilitation Program to help veterans with service-connected disabilities achieve success in the workforce. This program provides a range of services, including career counseling, job training, and employment assistance. Veterans who are eligible for this program can receive financial assistance for tuition, books, and other supplies needed for their education or training. Through the VA Vocational Rehabilitation Program, veterans can gain the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career path and achieve their goals. The VA is committed to helping veterans thrive in their post-military lives, and the Vocational Rehabilitation Program is just one way it is fulfilling that mission.
