Partners
What does
partnership mean to VR&E?
Partnership between the
Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Labor exists on a
national as well as local level. VR&E Service and Veterans
Employment and Training Service work together in partnership to
provide direct job service to Ch31 participants.
Department
of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense formed a close
partnership in 1991 that addresses the adjustment needs of disabled
service men and women through the Disabled Transition Assistance
Program. This partnership affords disabled servicemembers access to
VR&E at an early point of transition from military to civilian
occupations.
The Compensated Work Therapy Program of Veterans
Health Administration and VR&E partnership works by bringing
transitional and permanent jobs to veterans who may be returning to
the workforce following medical rehabilitation. For eligible
veterans this partnership can provide vocational rehabilitation that
combines work and training for new job skills.

provide a variety of important services in combination with the VA
vocational rehabilitation program that can help with adjustment to
disability in the work place, enhance self-awareness, and connect
people to employers.
