Veterans Employment
ABC News’ Sunlen Miller reports:
President Obama this morning will receive his regular briefings – the Presidential Daily Briefing and the Economic Daily Briefing.
Ahead of Veterans Day on Wednesday, Mr. Obama will sign an Executive Order “on the employment of veterans in the federal government” in the Oval Office, the White House says.
The Executive Order will establish a Council on Veterans Employment that will be chaired by the Secretaries of Labor and Veterans Affairs.
In addition it also establishes a Veterans Employment Program office within most Federal agencies.
"These offices will be responsible for helping veterans identify employment opportunities within those Federal agencies, provide feedback to veterans about their employment application status, and help veterans recently employed by these agencies adjust to civilian life and a workplace culture often different than military service," the White House says.
Finally, this Executive Order also requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to issue a government wide strategic plan to move forward the vision of the Executive Order.
