Veterans' Employment and Training Service: Preliminary Observations on Changes to Veterans' Employment Programs
The Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training
Service (VETS) administers two programs designed to assist the
roughly 700,000 veterans who are unemployed in any given month.
These two programs, the Disabled Veterans' Outreach Program
(DVOP) and the Local Veterans' Employment Representative (LVER)
program, fund employment, training, and job placement services to
veterans. In 2002, Congress passed the Jobs for Veterans Act
(JVA), which redefined the roles of DVOP and LVER staff and
required that VETS establish a new performance accountability
system. This testimony is based on GAO's ongoing work in this
area and focuses on three aspects: (1) the separation of DVOP's
and LVER's roles and responsibilities; (2) VETS' performance
accountability system for DVOP and LVER staff; and (3) VETS'
system for monitoring DVOP and LVER performance.
