Under
federal law, veterans may receive preferential assistance for job
placement services, as well as other programs. The Veterans Career
Consultant for Region 9 is housed in the Davenport office. He coordinates 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 VA Vocational Rehabilitation. 
In addition,
he 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 also works with veterans to
place them in federally-funded employment and training programs, develop
job interviewing and résumé writing skills, and helps veterans conduct a
productive job search and access job listings through electronic data
bases.
