A new vocational counseling center at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St. Paul, Minn. will help active-duty military personnel and veterans with severe disabilities obtain productive employment. Operated by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and staffed by a PVA counselor, it will serve about 100 veterans this year. The St. Paul facility is only the second of its kind in the nation. The first PVA counseling center opened last July in Richmond, Va. Similar centers are planned for California and Texas. The counseling center will work closely with VA's new Spinal Cord Injury Center at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, which is scheduled to open in early 2009.
Active duty and veterans can also search for jobs online at the Veterans Career Center or the Severely Injured Career Center on Military.com.
