The Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) awarded a $12,843,731 Jobs for Veterans State Grants (CFDA 17.801) formula grant to the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement. This 27-month grant, running from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026, funds Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists, Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER), and consolidated position staff stationed in American Job Centers across Virginia. These grant-funded staff provide individualized career services, employment resources, and job placement assistance to veterans, with a focus on those facing significant barriers to employment such as service-connected disabilities, economic disadvantages, and homelessness. The grant supports efforts to prepare veterans and transitioning service members for meaningful careers, connect them with employers, and promote employment opportunities for this population.
