MISSION: HIRE QUALIFIED VETS FOR THE VA
VA APPOINTS NEW VETERANS EMPLOYMENT COORDINATOR
MISSION: HIRE QUALIFIED VETS FOR THE VA
VA employee Allison Wilson has been assigned as the regional veterans employment coordinator for a six-state area, which includes Kansas. Her primary mission is to recruit veterans for employment into the VA system. The new program is particularly interested in recruiting severely wounded or injured veterans returning from the Global War on Terrorism.
Based in San Antonio, Ms. Wilson has a challenging duty. Her bottom line message to the KCVA on what she wants to accomplish:
"Get Kansas vets hired!"
The mission of the VA’s Veterans Employment Coordination Service includes:
Attracting, recruiting, and hiring qualified vets into the VA system (particularly severely injured vets)- Opening opportunities for veterans employment
- Ensuring VA managers and supervisors are thoroughly familiar with the use of special hiring opportunities
- Promoting VA career opportunities
- Conducting outreach to vets, particularly severely injured vets from Iraq and Afghanistan
- Having a presence at military career fairs and transition assistance centers
- Coordinating with local veterans employment centers
In addition, Wilson’s program requires collaboration with vocational rehabilitation and employment centers, the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Regiment, the Army Warrior Transition Program, various veteran service organizations, and other veterans stakeholders. The KCVA has assisted her in contacting the Warrior Transition Unit at Fort Riley as well as the state’s veterans employment coordinator in the Kansas Department of Commerce.
Information on the program can be found online at: www.va.gov/vecs. She can be reached at Allison.Wilson@va.gov or (210) 273-8034.

sounds good if you dont read the small print once you are hired they cut your disability pay as close as they can get away with or cut it off completely
Saddest parts, all in service to V.A., are bound by personnel commitment, to a pay check (French term, “chque”). Minion Servants of Corporacracy. This alone is a manipulation stretching fibers of greed to extract benefits’ from U.S. soldiers, know V.A. is the liability dumping ground for the D.O.D…
Hugh numbers in aristocracy detest monetary compensation to Soldiers of the ranks. “They”, “Our Leadership of America” induced and passed, legislations to reduce liability by corporations for wrong doings, an act of “AGRESSION” to deny individuals damages, accomplished by majority, preferring to buried their “LIBILITY” and never pay, past due damages, for their decisions, which permit Hugh gains for their “MASTERS” of CORPORACRACY, on the back of the injured American Soldier !
Inducing actions undermining LIBERTY. Extracting financial gain at every drop of blood. Benefitting most, those existing under the corporate Vale of Protection.
Just seems safe to assume those identified as “THEY” fear Violent Rebellion most? And that is the tool of the masses.
