US Department of Labor announces availability of approximately $12 million =
in grants to provide job training services for more than 6,000 veterans

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the availability =
of approximately $12 million in grants through the Veterans' Workforce Inve=
stment Program to provide job training and skills development services that=
 will help approximately 6,000 veterans succeed in civilian careers.

"These men and women served our country, and now it is our turn to serve th=
em and to support them. The grants announced today will help ensure our nat=
ion's veterans receive the assistance they need as they make the transition=
 to civilian life," Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis said.

Through funds provided by this program, veterans will receive skills assess=
ments, individual job counseling, labor market information, classroom or on=
-the-job training, skills upgrades, placement assistance and crucial follow=
-up services. Veterans also may be eligible for services through other Work=
force Investment Act programs for economically disadvantaged or dislocated =
workers.

The department will award at least 10 grants in 10 states on a competitive =
basis to state and local workforce investment boards, local public agencies=
 and nonprofit - including faith-based and community -organizations. Grante=
es must be familiar with the areas and populations to be served, and have d=
emonstrated that they can administer effective programs.

More information about the Department of Labor's unemployment and re-employ=
ment programs for veterans can be found at http://www.dol.gov/vets/.
