Employment & Training

Homeless veterans are prepared to re-enter the labor force through employment and training, as well as linkage to community support services. A special feature is outreach by veterans who themselves have experienced homelessness. Employment programs also include Compensated Work Therapy, where veterans learn new job skills. Volunteers of America also operates Incarcerated Veterans Transitional Programs, reintegrating veterans exiting the corrections system into their home communities.
