Hello,
As a Veteran, thank you for considering continuing your service to our country through Federal employment. There are two important programs we invite you to explore.
If you are an unemployed Veteran and meet the age requirement, you may be eligible for the Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP), a new benefit from the Veterans Administration (VA). VRAP is designed to help unemployed Veterans acquire the skills they need to obtain a high demand job. The new benefit provides up to 12 months of training assistance at the full-time payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty program (currently $1,473 per month). Upon completion of VRAP, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will also offer employment assistance to every Veteran who participates in the VRAP program. You can learn more about VRAP and the eligibility requirements at www.benefits.va.gov/VOW.
The second program you may want to consider is attending the upcoming National Veterans Small Business Conference, at the Cobo Center in Detroit, which will take place June 26-28, 2012. More than 10,000 veterans, business owners and federal workers are expected to attend this year's event. To learn more about this event please visit or register at www.VAforVets.VA.gov/Detroit.
Thank you,
