Take Action: Help Connect Veterans With Gainful Employment
Tell the Department of Labor it must find more effective ways to connect veterans with employers who want to hire them.
Goal: 10,000
•
Progress: 2,352
Sponsored by: The Veterans Site
What if every military veteran had a job waiting for him the moment he stepped off duty? There are myriad employers within the American labor sector that are prepared to hire veterans — but many of these employers don't have the capabilities to connect themselves with the veteran community.
For those returning from service, finding employment can be a burdensome and discouraging task. It's up to the Department of Labor to reach out to employers interested in hiring veterans and help them connect to the veteran community. This means retaining close relationships with prospective employers, keeping track of separating service members and matching them with employment relevant to their skills, and providing separating service members with resources and information about employers who are hiring.
Tell the Department of Labor it must implement better programs and initiatives to connect separating service members to employment opportunities.
Dear Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis,
I am writing to you today on behalf of all of our American service members returning home from duty as well as those who will return home in the future. Their honorable service in the military is critical to the safety of our country, and that's why they shouldn't have to worry about how to get by at home when they have finished fulfilling their duties.
It's the task of the Department of Labor to connect veterans with employers relevant to their skills. There are myriad employers interested in hiring veterans, but who are having a hard time finding ways to connect with the veteran community. The Department of Labor must improve its efforts to help these entities find each other.
We know there are industries that are hungry to employ veterans, and we know there are veterans who are hungry to start working — it's your job to do the rest.
Sincerely,

These good people have upheld their commitment now it's time our government to do theirs by helping them find employment when they return to civilian life. I'm sure they don't want to be on Welfare and have to depend on Food Stamps to survive. Help!!

Get these vets into gainful employment now. They need to feel that their sacrifice was not in vain. Join the dots & give the vets a reason to get out of bed in the morning. It is YOUR duty to them.

We need to take care of our Veterans at any cost. Where would we be without them?? They've literally gone through Hell & then are treated like disposable trash when we're done with them. SHAME on us!!

Our veterans work hard in the military and those who get out deserve the necessary help to find a job to support their families. Our government employees get more retirement than veterans who work ten times as hard.
