Under
federal law, veterans may receive preferential assistance for job
placement services, as well as other programs. The Veterans
Representatives for Region 9 are housed in the Davenport office. They 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,
Veterans Representatives 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 aid veterans with
placement in federally-funded employment and training programs, develop
job interviewing and résumé writing skills and help veterans conduct
productive job search's by accessing job listings through electronic data
bases.
