The Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) program, a formula grant administered by the U.S. Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (CFDA 17.801), provides federal funding to support dedicated staff positions in American Job Centers across the United States. These positions include Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists, Local Veterans' Employment Representatives (LVER), and consolidated staff who deliver individualized career services, conduct employer outreach, and work to increase employment opportunities for veterans, with a focus on those with significant barriers to employment.
The federal grant award to the Florida Department of Commerce totals $18,351,581.00 and covers the period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026. The Department of Commerce serves as the prime grantee and subawards portions of the funding to various local workforce development boards and non-profit organizations throughout Florida to provide the veteran employment services at the community level.
