Veterans Career Transition Project at Select Job Corps Centers _______________________________________________________________ Last July we told you about Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) and the Employment and Training Administration's (ETA) Office of Job Corps partnering for an important demonstration project aimed at Veterans 20-24 years old. Don't stop promoting this valuable resource to your young Veteran customers!
