Get Rewarding Outdoor Work for our Veterans Act or the GROW Act
This bill addresses certain federal activities related to veterans who are transitioning from service to civilian life. First, the bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to annually report to Congress on the Warrior Training Advancement Course (WARTAC) of the Veterans Benefits Administration. The report must include specified elements, including information regarding how many members of the Armed Forces who are participating in the Transition Assistance Program have participated in WARTAC.
The bill also requires the Veterans' Employment and Training Services within the Department of Labor to establish guidelines containing best practices for departments and agencies that implement programs to employ veterans who are transitioning from service.
Additionally, the Department of the Interior must implement a two-year pilot program under which veterans are employed by the federal government in positions that relate to the conservation and resource management activities of Interior.
