MISSION - Complete

MISSION

MISSION COMPLETEThis process will focus on the Veteran, both present and future, with intent to employ and retain in the workforce. Each Veteran will be seen as an individual, although being serviced in large and small group environments. One-on-ones are available for intensive service referrals to DVOPs if necessary. We believe this will provide the best customer service necessary to all Veterans as well as employers receiving our Veterans as the final product.
