New Employment Resource for Vets

Written by Call of Duty Endowment on March 2, 2010 – 6:12 pm -

The Navy Times reported last week on a new joint effort from the US Departments of Labor, Defense and Veterans Affairs for injured service members and veterans transitioning into civilian life. Called the National Resource Directory, the web portal “provides access to services and resources at the national, state and local levels to support recovery, rehabilitation and community reintegration.”

Among other things, the site includes information on employment , education and training for vets. The employment section features useful “how-to’s,” such as updating a military resume for the business world, and general career planning services and resources. Organizations that help fight veterans unemployment are featured on the site, including the Wounded Warriors Project, which the Call of Duty Endowment donated $100,000 to in February. Spreading the word about all of these great organizations to those who need it the most—veterans and service members looking for jobs—is one necessary step in the fight to lower vets unemployment.
