This initiative will connect the dots between the high-quality training our military offers college coursework & professional certification standards especially in the Allied Health Care Occupations such as physical therapists X-Ray and pharmacy technicians."
-- Texas Gov. Rick Perry
These young men & women have answered our countrys call under very difficult circumstances. Now we are making it possible for them to use their talents in the civilian world to make this a better state and a better nation. Texas
is a model for the nation in welcoming our returning veterans home the right way by putting that experience back to work."
-- Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Chairman Tom Pauken
Our veterans have been trained by our nations premier employer. It is common sense to consider their unique & specialized training in order to help
our veterans transition from the battlefield to the workforce as quickly as possible."
-- Senator Leticia Van de Putte Chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs & Military Installations
This initiative builds on the previously announced Texas Veterans Leadership Program (TVLP) a TWC initiative that connects returning veterans of Iraq & Afghanistan with the tools needed to assimilate into civilian life in Texas - employment and training services resources and referrals.
