Services

Outreach 

Grant recipients use a flexible, non-threatening approach to meet veterans where they are. Outreach also includes activities to engage partners and employers.

Intake 

Grant recipients screen each veteran to determine program eligibility, provide program information, and determine participation in the program.

Assessment 

Grant recipients conduct a comprehensive assessment to collect the participant’s education and employment history, identification of barriers to employment, including skill deficits, and service needs as well as strengths.

Case Management 

Grant recipients use a veteran-centered approach in the delivery of individualized career services designed to develop comprehensive employment plans for participants, assist participants to overcome barriers to employment, ensure access to the necessary training and supportive services that impart relevant skills and connect participants with high-quality career opportunities, and provide support during program participation and after job placement.

Job driven Training 

Grant recipients provide training that is targeted to the specific industries, occupations, and skills that are in demand locally. Training services can be provided in-house, through partners in the community, or through the local American Job Center.

Placement 

Grant recipients assist participants to secure or attain employment in accordance with the participant’s employment goals.

Follow-up 

Grant recipients provide post-exit follow-up services to participants enrolled and placed into employment for four quarters after exit, to increase the participant’s success in employment retention.

Collaboration 

Grant recipients collaborate with public and private partners at all levels (federal, state and local) to provide supportive services and access to housing.
