Economic Opportunities Committee Report, May/June 2013 The Missing Piece BY FRANK BARRY, CHAIR
The panel identified the missing piece as the veteranand how to get the word out to veterans about all the services and resources available to them. Many VSO representatives in the audience expressed frustration at not being able to reach veterans who need their services the most. After the panel I had the opportunity to walk around the exhibit area and talk to exhibitors representing community colleges, workforce investment boards, one-stop centers, apprenticeship programs, and other organizations serving veterans and military families. The NOCCCD has a grant to train a hundred veterans in advanced competitive technologies, including machine, printing, and welding technologies with job placement as CNC machinists, flexographic printers, or welders. The training is done through Fullerton College. There is no cost to the veterans, and they do not have to use their GI Bill funds. Those in the Orange County, California, area who know veterans who need training should contact Norma A. Alvarado at 714-808-4611 or nalvarado@sce.edu. Let’s add that missing piece to the puzzle so that our veterans know the resources available to them. Here is an economic opportunity. Let’s get the word out. |
