Proposed “SKILLS Act” raises Legion concern

The American Legion is concerned that provisions in a proposed federal act could harm the delivery of services to U.S. military veterans.

The Supporting Knowledge and Investing in Lifelong Skills ("SKILLS") Act now being considered by the U.S. House of Representatives was introduced by Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C. The measure is designed to reform the nation’s workforce-development system by, among other things, streamlining what the sponsors consider duplicative and ineffective job-training programs.

At stake are the fates of the Legion-supported Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program (DVOP) and Local Veterans’ Employment Representatives program (LVERs) as administered by the Department of Labor’s Veterans Education and Training Service (VETS). Under the proposed SKILLS Act, these programs would be replaced by Veterans Employment Specialists provided at the local level from a general allocation fund. This would eliminate VETS oversight of these outreach and employment assistance activities.

The Legion has long supported Labor’s VETS program. For instance, at its last national convention, Legion leadership adopted a

resolution

objecting to a then-active proposal to transfer VETS from the Department of Labor to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The resolution stated, in part, "DoL has expertise in job placement, job development, vocational counseling, vocational testing, job-search training, and any other area of employment services…" 

"These same attributes apply to this situation as well," said Joe Sharpe, director of the Legion’s Economic Division. "We believe strongly in the Department of Labor’s expertise and experience and think that any move to compromise VETS’ oversight of these vital veterans’ programs by eliminating the current DVOP and LVERs – would be a huge and ultimately costly mistake."

VETS itself recently issued a detailed point paper concluding, "We believe the approach taken under the SKILLS Act would reduce the level and quality of services currently provided to veterans."

In one of his first speaking engagements, Assistant Secretary of Labor Keith Kelly, who leads the VETS program,

promised Legionnaires

his office’s unwavering support of job-seeking veterans. He spoke to attendees of the Legion’s Washington Conference on Feb. 26 – barely a month after he took the job.

Army Suspends Tuition Assistance

Due to the current fiscal situation the Army has suspended Army Tuition Assistance (TA) beginning 1700 EST Friday, 08-Mar-2013.

Therefore there are only a few hours left to register for classes through GoArmyEd using your TA.

Until this situation is resolved, the Army is suggesting that Soldiers can continue to access their GI Bill benefits, (Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) or Post 9/11 GI Bill), or use another funding sources (i.e. grants, scholarships, or Army National Guard Soldiers using state Tuition Assistance).

If there is anything we can do to assist you, please email us at militaryeducation@tesc.edu.

Thank you and all of the best in your educational endeavors.

Sincerely,
Office of Military and Veteran Education Thomas Edison State College

Job Creation and Workforce Development

Price preferences for veteran businesses: Providing our veterans with good-paying jobs and paths to successful business ownership is an important way of showing our gratitude for their sacrifices. SB 564, co-authored by Sen. Frank Mrvan, requires each state agency to set a goal of at least 10 percent veteran-owned business participation in state contracts and provides that the Indiana Economic Development Corporation help determine which purchases of supplies or services could be designated for veteran-owned small businesses.

 Hoosier veterans

Combat to College: As many veterans struggle to make the transition from combat to civilian life, lawmakers are considering legislation that will help veterans obtain a college degree. SB 115 will require state universities to establish a “Combat to College Program.” The legislation, coauthored by Sen. Richard Young, requires universities to provide a centralized location for admissions, registration and financial services; reasonable accommodations for disabled veteran students; the development of programs to provide academic guidance specifically for veterans as well as access to counseling services or resources for disabled veteran students and those veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Among other provisions, the bill requires universities to provide postsecondary credit for military training based upon recommendations by the American Council of Education.

Service skills to job training: SB 290 provides that the Emergency Medical Services Commission shall issue a license or certificate to a military service applicant who meets certain requirements. Authored by Sen. Lindel Hume, the bill would allow the commission to issue a temporary practice certificate or provisional license while the military service applicant is satisfying certain requirements as determined by the commission.
