Under federal law, veterans
may receive preferential assistance for job placement services, as well as other
programs. The Region 13 Iowa Workforce Development offices have three Veterans
Employment Representatives, Ellen Fritz, DVOR, Willie Chandler, LVER, and Marvin
Martens, LVER, who coordinate all services provided to veterans, including
counseling, testing, and identifying training and employment opportunities. They
also monitor job listings from federal agencies and federal contractors to
ensure that veterans get priority service in referral to these jobs, and work
closely with clients of VA Vocational Rehabilitation. In addition, these staff members conduct active outreach programs with employers, community and veterans’ organizations, unions, and local counseling and social service agencies to make sure veterans know about and receive the services for which they are eligible. They also work with veterans to place them in federally-funded employment and training programs, develop job interviewing and résumé writing skills, and help veterans conduct a productive job search and access job listings through electronic data bases.
