Pennsylvania Awards $600,000 for Veteran Employment Support
Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Nancy A. Walker announced in Harrisburg that $600,000 in Veterans Employment Program funding has been awarded to three workforce projects connecting veterans with jobs in counties with high veteran unemployment rates.
The awards are: $199,182 to the Chester County Intermediate Unit for its Heroes Rising education and employment initiative in Chester County; $199,998 to NuPaths, LLC to expand entry-level technology career training statewide, including website development, IT security analysis and network technician roles; and $200,000 to the Veterans Leadership Program, serving dozens of counties in western and central Pennsylvania with certificate training, employer connections and help with employment-related expenses.
The department said the grants were awarded using Reemployment funds. Maj. Gen. Mark Schindler, the state's adjutant general and head of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, said veterans return with skills that transfer directly to civilian jobs and deserve resources to begin new careers.
