Employment Resources and Opportunities

Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment

The Department of Veterans Affairs can provide some financial assistance to disabled veterans who are starting a small business through the VocRehab program.  If you have a Service-Connected disability of 10% or more, you can apply for the Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment Program to see if you qualify for assistance though their Self-Employment track.  Qualification for this track is based solely on the decision made by your VocRehab counselor.  This program is operated by the Veterans Benefits Administration.

VetNet

Transitioning from military to civilian life presents unique challenges. To make things easier and provide structure, a few of the leading organizations in Veteran career development have combined forces to create VetNet.
