From the Paper:

"The process of the Program takes into account a reintroduction in the labor force for disabled veterans. This is achieved through training and meeting several of the immediate needs of veterans. In this sense, the Program works with disabled veterans to "acquire proficient skill sets, obtain the needed assistance to successfully connect to an employer and apply those skills to the workforce (which) are fundamental to their ability to succeed in today's workforce environment" (House Committee on Veteran's Affairs, 2008). To this aim, the specialists working in the Program offer counseling, education, and training in order to be eligible for the current employment requirements."
