Pilot program expanding transition assistance for veterans, military spouses

The Department of Labor’s Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS) is expanding its Transition Assistance Program (TAP) to at least 50 locations in 20 states through a pilot program beginning this month.

The Off-Base Transition Training pilot program extends TAP to assist veterans, including National Guard and reserve members, and their spouses, in preparation for the job search. The program consists of 10 two-hour workshops offered both in-person and online.

Workshop topics include understanding resume essentials, interview skills, how to create LinkedIn profiles and more.

In-person pilot sites will be in Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Fayetteville, N.C., Pittsburgh, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.
