This is a $217,541 Formula Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) under the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (CFDA 17.801) program. The grant supports the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialist and Local Veterans' Employment Representative (LVER) positions at American Job Centers across the state of Georgia.
DVOP specialists provide individualized career services to veterans with significant barriers to employment, with a focus on economically or educationally disadvantaged veterans, homeless veterans, and those with service-connected disabilities. LVERs conduct outreach to employers to increase employment opportunities for veterans, including advocating for the hiring of disabled veterans. The grant also funds consolidated positions that serve as both DVOP and LVER staff. This funding helps prepare veterans and transitioning service members for meaningful careers, provide employment resources and expertise, and promote employment opportunities. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
