Montana Department of Labor touts jobs plan aimed at helping veterans

The Department of Labor and Industry http://dli.mt.gov/ is announcing the launch of a new initiative to deliver individually customized, priority job search services to Post-9/11 veterans through One-Stop Career Centers.

"The intensive, personalized service the Gold Card provides will give these veterans the tools they need to navigate a difficult labor market and translate their military experience for civilian employers," said Labor Commissioner Keith Kelly. "In Montana we have the second highest percentage of veterans per capita, so we will utilize every available tool to assist the men and women who have served our country."

Veterans will be provided Gold Card certificates through the Transition Assistance Program, and though the e-Benefits portal administered by the Department of Veteran Affairs and Department of Defense.

Veterans will also be able to download the Gold Card by visiting either http://www.whitehouse.gov/vets or http://www.dol.gov/vets/goldcard, or by visiting a Job Service Office.
