Abstract: TAP helps service members make the initial transition
from military service to the civilian workplace with less difficulty and at
less overall cost to the government. TAP consists of comprehensive three-day
workshops at selected military installations nationwide. Professionally-
trained workshop facilitators from the State Employment Services, military
family support services, Department of Labor contractors, or VETS staff present
the workshops. Workshop attendees learn to conduct job searches, career
decision- making, current occupational and labor market conditions, and resume
and cover letter preparation. Participants also are provided with an evaluation
of their employability relative to the job market and receive information on
the most current veterans' benefits. Service members leaving the military with
a service-connected disability are offered the Disabled Transition Assistance
Program.
Purpose: The Transition Assistance Program was
established to meet the needs of separating Service members during their period
of transition into civilian life. TAP does this by offering job-search
assistance and related services to enhance the separating Service member’s
ability to compete for jobs in the civilian job market.
Agency
Program: Public Law 101-510 (codified at 10 U.S.C. Section 1144)
established TAP as a partnership between the Departments of Defense, Veterans
Affairs, and the Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training
Service (VETS), to give employment and training information to armed forces
members within 180 days of separation or retirement. Public Law 103-337
included the Department of Transportation (US Coast Guard) separating members
as eligible for TAP services.
