This page was prepared to help Veterans and their families stay abreast on all that is available to them before exiting the military and after. Something’s maybe time sensitive, my team and I will do our best to keep you informed.
Make sure you have an account with LinkedIn and tie all information to a civilian email. After all you are getting out of the military and will no longer have access to your military email. Don’t wait until it’s to late do it now.
LinkedIn is a professional network service. A professional network service is a way to either find work or get ahead in your career as well as gain resources and opportunities for networking. A type of social network service that is focused solely on interactions and relationships of a business nature rather than including personal, non-business interactions.

Understanding the VA Vet Success Program:
The Department of Veterans Affairs’ Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) Vet Success program — also known as Voc-Rehab or Chapter 31 — offers disabled vets counseling, training, education and other services needed to prepare for, find, and keep suitable jobs.
If you are a veteran who has a VA disability rating and an employment handicap, you may be entitled to vocational rehabilitation & employment services under Chapter 31 of the GI Bill. These services include – but are not limited to – counseling, training, education and job placement assistance.
The following services may be provided through the VR&E Vet Success program:
• Comprehensive rehabilitation evaluation to determine abilities, skills, interests, and needs.
• Vocational counseling and rehabilitation planning.
• Employment services such as job-seeking skills, resume development, and other work readiness assistance.
• Assistance finding and keeping a job, including the use of special employer incentives.
• On the Job Training (OJT), apprenticeships, and non-paid work experiences.
• Financial assistance for post-secondary training at a college, vocational, technical or business school.
• Supportive rehabilitation services including case management, counseling, and referral.
• Independent living services for Veterans unable to work due to the severity of their disabilities.
