VA to Hire Veteran Employment Coordinators
Forming Internal Task Force to Examine Veteran Job Development
WASHINGTON - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced the
initial hiring of 10 full time Veterans Employment Coordinators to focus
efforts to attract, recruit and hire veterans throughout the Department.
These coordinators will work closely with the recently formed Federal
Recovery Coordination Program to assist Operation Enduring Freedom and
Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans to potentially obtain employment with
VA.
"After our young men and women have concluded serving in our military,
VA will use every hiring flexibility available to bring their talents
and skills to our department should they want to continue to serve this
great nation through the VA," said Acting-Secretary of Veterans Affairs
Gordon Mansfield.
The Veterans Employment Coordinator job announcements will be posted on
www.usajobs.gov <http://www.usajobs.gov/> and www.va.gov/jobs with the
goal of being hired by the end of the year. The coordinators will work
with veterans interested in employment at the VA, including those who
have completed one of VA's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment
Services programs.
"VA believes enhancing a veteran's opportunity for employment is not
merely the obligation of a grateful Nation. It is good government and
good business," added Mansfield. "This stepped-up recruitment and
hiring of veterans into the Department of Veterans Affairs ensures we
are able to employ some of our Nation's most highly motivated,
disciplined and experienced citizens."
Mansfield also announced the formation of an internal task force to
examine the Department's retention, training and development of veterans
already in the VA

workforce. The task force will be led by the Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Human Resources and Administration, with employment
experts from the Veterans Health Administration, Veterans Benefits
Administration, National Cemetery Administration, and additional VA
staff offices.
Approximately 31 percent of the 230,000 Department of Veterans Affairs
employees are veterans, and 7.7 percent are service-connected disabled
veterans.
