Veterans Services
Under federal law, veterans may receive preferential
services for job placement services, as well as other programs. The Sioux
City Workforce Development Center's “Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP)
Representative” is David
Girard. He coordinate all services provided to
veterans, including counseling, testing, and identifying training and
employment opportunities. He also monitors job listings from federal
agencies and federal contractors to ensure that veterans get priority service in referral to these jobs, and works closely with clients of
Veterans Administration Vocational Rehabilitation.
In addition, David conducts 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. He works with veterans to
place them in federally funded employment and training programs, develops
job interviewing and résumé writing skills, and helps veterans conduct a
productive job search and access job listings through electronic data
bases.
