The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) was awarded a $3,751,308 Formula Grant under the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) program (CFDA 17.801). This grant supports the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) Specialists, Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER) staff, and Consolidated Position staff in American Job Centers across Colorado. The DVOP Specialists provide individualized career services to veterans with significant barriers to employment, focusing on economically or educationally disadvantaged veterans, homeless veterans, and those with service-connected disabilities. The LVER staff conduct employer outreach and engagement to increase employment opportunities for veterans, particularly those with disabilities. The Consolidated Position staff serve in a dual DVOP and LVER role. This grant funding allows CDLE to prepare veterans and transitioning service members for meaningful careers, provide them with employment resources and expertise, and promote their employment opportunities. The grant period runs from October 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026.
