Is there any employment help for disabled vets with big gaps in employment out there? My husband is a disabled navy vet and has been unemployed for about 6 years due to familial emergency. No one is even giving interviews. What can he do about it? Where can he go for some help finding work?

Tell him to check out SAP NS2’s “Boots to Suits” program. They train vets and certify them on an SAP module then help place them in a job. I think it’s completely paid for. Pre-COVID they relocated them for training and paid for housing and also paid a living stipend per month. Not sure how the logistics works now though

like

What area/locale? What industry? What skill set? Cleared work?

DAV, ClearanceJobs, USAJobs, etc. are avenues. Or it could be as easy as knowing someone in his network.

There are also free resume services for Vets. I have a friend who runs one if you need it.

What was his last rate/rank? Did he retire? What’s the disability? You don’t need to answer but some of the easiest things for vets to do is get back in “uniform.” As in JROTC’s, Military High School programs. This is my current role and have enjoyed every second of it. Super easy. Also, tell him to just go to a VFW, I’ve met so many vet entrepreneurs at a VFW that are hiring personnel and there’s no resume, no application process, just a direct hire.

If you can tie the unemployability to the disability, VR&E will pay for school and certs.
