Nowadays we must remember that there are thousands of young men and women in America who are veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These younger veterans often have service-related injuries that hamper their efforts to find and hold good-paying jobs. To help these men and women, the Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) offers veterans a vocational rehabilitation program known as Chapter 31. >

What services does the DVA provide for this special group of veterans?

- Rehabilitation evaluation to assess a person's skills
- Counseling and rehabilitation planning
- Job finding skills like resume help and interviewing
- Help finding and keeping a job, including the use of special employer incentives
- On-the-Job Training (OJT) and apprenticeships
- Post-secondary training at a college, vocational, technical or business school
- Case management, counseling and referral services

Who can take advantage of this program?

The veteran must have:
- an honorable discharge
- a service-connected disability rating of at least 10%
- completed an application for the program

If veterans need career retraining, one option that counselors and veterans can look at is online vocational schools with vocational rehabilitation training programs. A veteran can enroll in an online program and train for a career as a real estate agent, medical coder or a pharmacy technician, for example, and all from the comfort of their home with 100% online courses.

This distance education option often solves a lot of problems for veterans like commuting to a campus, securing reliable transportation, as well as finding babysitters or family friends who can help with children. 100% online career training is a great way for veterans to retrain and prepare themselves for a new career.

When looking at online vocational rehabilitation schools, veterans and their counselors should make sure that the school is nationally accredited by an accrediting body such as the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).

And of course there is nothing like "word-of-mouth" information; veterans should ask fellow disabled veterans for a school recommendation -- there's nothing like an endorsement from someone you trust!
