So that you can know where you may fit into the current job market, your VA Counselor will help you identify the skills you have built through your life’s experience.

If those skills will support a successful transition into suitable employment, you may be entitled to the employment services required for you to land a good job.

If your skills are either lacking in some manner or project you into employment that is not considered suitable, you would be entitled to the help you need to develop a rehabilitation services plan leading to employment that is suitable.

That plan will be built upon information you and your counselor will gather through a process of evaluation and planning. That process typically involves a combination of testing to learn about your interests and abilities, review of the job market, identification of your goals, and discussions with your counselor to bring all this information together while developing a sound plan of action.

If you are found to be entitled to the VA's vocational rehabilitation program, your case manager will help you prepare for, get and keep a job that fits your needs and for those individuals for whom employment may not be possible, to help you become as independent in the acheivement of your daily living activities as possible.
