US Department of Labor, Albany State University launch partnership to support veterans, enhance employment opportunities at HBCUs [ http://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/vets/vets20240925 ] 09/25/2024 08:00 AM EDT
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service today signed a memorandum of understanding with Albany State University designed to enhance career readiness and employment opportunities for veterans and military-affiliated students at historically Black colleges and universities.The memorandum of understanding marks the beginning of this unique collaboration, which will give veterans – including Albany State alumni who have served, ROTC cadets, military spouses and servicemembers currently on active duty, in the reserves or the National Guard – access to career resources and support from VETS job training programs. They also will gain access to apprenticeships, internships and employment placement services aimed at easing the transition into the civilian workforce.The memorandum was signed by Assistant Secretary for Veterans’ Employment and Training James D. Rodriguez and Albany State University Interim President Dr. Lawrence M. Drake II.“Veterans bring a wealth of experience, leadership and skill to the workforce, and we are excited to partner with Albany State University to support their students as they matriculate and move toward civilian careers,” said Assistant Secretary Rodriguez. “This memorandum of understanding formalizes a partnership that will open doors to career development, job training and employment opportunities for veterans and military students at Albany State University and more HBCUs.” The partnership is part of a larger initiative to connect the department with HBCUs nationwide, enhancing opportunities for veteran students, alumni and military-affiliated individuals. It also aligns with the Biden-Harris Administration’s broader efforts to support HBCUs and veterans, building on executive orders focused on workforce development, education and expanding career pathways for underrepresented groups.For more information on the services provided to veterans through VETS please visit dol.gov/vets. body { font-size: 1em; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; color: #333333; }
