Transition Workshop Valuable to Veterans

Week of November 13, 2006

All separating servicemembers should know about Transition Assistance Program workshops, say Labor Department officials. The Labor Department teams with DOD and the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer these workshops to transitioning servicemembers. The workshops go over job search skills, writing resumes and cover letters, interviewing skills, career planning, veterans benefits, disabled veterans issues, and much more. Members retiring from the military are eligible to attend 24 months before retirement; members separating are eligible to attend 12 months out. Officials hold the workshops at each base or installation. This year, about 140,000 servicemembers are using the workshop.
