VETERAN'S DAY 2011 +++ NEW EMPLOYMENT INITIATIVES
On Monday, November 7, 2011, President Obama launched
three initiatives aimed at getting unemployed veterans back to work. The president said, “No veteran should have to
fight for a job at home after they fight for our nation overseas.” Three new programs launched are:
1) Veteran Gold Card--The Gold Card program
will entitle post-9/11 veterans to enhanced services including six months of personalized case management, assessments and
counseling at the roughly 3,000 One-Stop Career Centers located across the country.

2) My Next Move for Veterans

of veterans with civilian skills.
