Access Candidates with Disabilities - Your employer network will appreciate being able to easily tap into a recruitment resource for job seekers with disabilities. The site, from DOL and named the Workforce Recruitment Program, provides the resource to private sector and government employers. Accessibility is provided to private sector and state and local government agencies at (866) 327-6669.
Stand Down Planning Resource - The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and Stand Down co-founder Dr. John Nachison, have teamed up to produce the revised Stand Down Guide, a resource for organizations that are planning to develop a homeless veterans outreach assistance program in their local communities. The guide may be obtained by sending an email request to nchv22nchv.org. Be sure to include your organization name and contact information: event coordinator/sponsor; address; phone number; email and website, if applicable.
The Recovery and Employment Assistance Lifelines (REALifelines) Information Sought - Dave Howerton, a vet rep in Idaho Commerce & Labor's Caldwell office, is looking for input on how others are working the REALifelines program with veterans. Along with help from his colleagues (and his NVTI classmates!), he is well on his way to developing a great collection of resources, but is interested in what others are doing. Some of Dave's resources are specific to his state, of course, but he's allowed us to list a couple here. Let us know. What are you doing with REALifelines in your area? How are you getting timely information on returning veterans? How can you get them registered with the state for assistance by the vet rep? Do you feel you have enough guidance to properly implement the program?
Here are Dave's resources: Resource Links and Organizational Reference Guide.
