Iraqi Veterans Job Training Initiative Announced
A new Iraqi government initiative is providing vocational
education, training, and job placement to veterans of the Iraqi
military. This program is helping veterans transition to civilian life
and is preparing them for new careers in the growing Iraqi economy. The
Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the Veterans Agency within the
Ministry of Defense are ensuring that veterans have preferential access
to job training and placement services. This program is another example
of how the new Iraqi government is working to meet the needs of Iraqi
citizens.
