A "Craigslist" for Veterans

As the Director for Veteran Relations, I see the many requests that our team receives from our warriors that are out of our charter or areas of expertise, and we definitely must rely on other Veteran Service Organizations to help facilitate these needs.

This morning, I met with Dave Mahler of USATogether and discussed how we could help each other by connecting veterans and donors without the tedious internet searches it often requires for veterans to find assistance. Aside from the generosity Dave and his organization brings to the table, (an all volunteer effort), one of the most fascinating things about USATogether is  that regardless of what  the need is or where you are in the country, USATogether is there and has the ability to help veterans and active duty folks through some of their hardships.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 2009 – President Barack Obama signed an executive order yesterday aimed at hiring more veterans to work in the federal government.
A governmentwide Council on Veterans’ Employment will be chaired by Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.

The order calls on each federal agency to establish a veterans employment program office designed to help veterans get through the maze of paperwork as they apply for positions in the federal work force and mandates that agencies train personnel specialists on veteran employment policies.

It calls on agencies to work with the Defense Department and VA to develop and apply technologies designed to help disabled veterans.

Non-profit veteran organizations are making significant strides while working together with their federal counterparts in order to assist our warriors as they enter the 21st century workforce.

Obama signs order on veterans employment:

President Obama signed an executive order on Monday establishing veterans employment offices at most federal agencies. The order comes just two days before Veterans Day and one day before the launch of a new $1 million foundation founded by a video game company to help recent military veterans find jobs.
