The benefits of the President's Job Training Reform Proposal to veterans are clear:
- They would become part of the customer base of the workforce development system most directly connected to and accessed by employers;
- They would have access to the full array of educational and job training services, employment, and supportive services available from ALL consolidated funding streams;
- They would be assured of continued levels of service and the potential for increased numbers served with freed up resources;
- They would benefit from additional resources for job training, which is critical in an economy where 80% of the fastest growing jobs require post secondary education;
- In a demand-driven, fully integrated workforce system, they will have opportunities to leverage their military skills and access good jobs and career pathways in high growth, high demand industries.
