Strengthening Veteran Employment Opportunities Last week, I met with U.S. Department of Labor Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling and Jessie Jane D., Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and United States Marine Corps #Veteran. Our discussion focused on how the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and U.S. Department of Labor can continue working together to: - Promote Veteran employment and ensure resources are aligned across programs. - Expand apprenticeships that support the White House’s priority to strengthen domestic workforce skills in critical industries like manufacturing. - Improve the transition from military to civilian life by helping service members translate their experiences into resumes and recognize their transferable skills for office-based careers. I’m grateful for the partnership with the Department of Labor as we continue to advance opportunities for Veterans and ensure they have the tools they need to thrive after service.
