WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor will extend its Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) Transition Assistance Program curriculum beyond the active military installations it currently serves, according to a release.
The program will include at least 50 additional locations in at least 20 states to expand “efforts to improve employment-related outcomes in areas where large veteran populations face high rates of unemployment,” according to the release.
The five-year Off-Base Transition Training pilot program starts Jan. 18 and offers 10, two-hour employment skills and workforce development workshops led by an instructor.
The core curriculum has four modules offered in-person and virtually. Beginning Jan. 24, VETS will have 10 virtual workshops.
The VETS pilot begins with eight locations in California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Registration and more information is available at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/vets/programs/tap/off-base-transition-training.
