Veterans Program

The Veterans Program serves the statewide Disabled Veteran Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veteran Employment Representative (LVER), and Consolidated Veteran Services Representative (CVSR) staff members by managing funding, providing guidance and partnering with other service providers focused on veteran services. Veterans with barriers to employment receive services through intensive case management, service and job referrals and other job readiness activities. Staff also works closely with employers to develop jobs for veterans and promote the hiring of veterans.

A basic assessment for a Veteran or eligible person needing a DVOP or CVSR referral.  Most Veterans and customers will not be eligible for a DVOP/CVSR referral, however, every Dept. of Labor funding source program is a potential WorkSource entry point for a Veteran or potential eligible person. This screening questionnaire guides WorkSource staff and partners to refer the appropriate customer to a DVOP or CVSR.  This training will cover who qualifies for a referral, what barriers must be met, why this questionnaire should be used, when to use it, and how to both complete the questionnaire and how to record the appropriate ETO touchpoints.  This questionnaire has been developed for printable in-person use, electronic virtual use, and as a checklist for staff to engage in conversation with the customer to determine referral eligibility.
