Employment Services and Resources

The Veterans Affairs (VA) Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) program offers a comprehensive range of services to veterans seeking employment. The program aims to help veterans with service-connected disabilities transition into the workforce by providing career counseling, job training, education, and job placement assistance. The VR&E program offers various tracks, including reemployment, self-employment, and independent living, tailored to the specific needs and goals of each veteran. By addressing barriers such as disability-related limitations and providing job-readiness training, the VR&E program plays a crucial role in supporting veterans in securing meaningful employment.

    Workforce Charity Solutions

    With the world technological landscape constantly advancing, we refuse to allow the elderly to succumb to the negative stereotypes of financial insecurity through training and job placement.

    America’s Veterans have made us advocates of democracy and justice throughout the world and as a repayment of that debt of gratitude, we wish to train them with current workplace skills and help place unemployed veterans in living wage jobs.
