Please feel free to share this information with Employers at the Career Fair:
I thought you might be interested in a U.S. Dept. of Labor initiative, America’s Heroes At Work. I am a workforce professional who supports this project, the mission of which is to reach out to help employers ensure the success of Veterans winning the battle with TBI and/or PTSD in the workplace. The project features a Web site, http://www.AmericasHeroesAtWork.gov, where resources, training tools, success stories and other information are provided to help employers (and Veterans) understand both injuries, how to put successful workplace accommodations in place, and what best promising practices exist in the workplace to ensure high morale, an effective use of a Veteran’s overall skill sets, and retention in all levels of employment. Employers and Veterans can visit the Web site to learn how each can help the other ensure a successful transition into the civilian workforce.
