A plan would help veterans get jobs in advanced manufacturing.

This bill would create a plan to help veterans get jobs in advanced manufacturing. The Department of Veterans Affairs would make this plan within 30 days if the bill becomes law. It would find out what makes it hard for veterans to get these jobs and what skills they have, then help connect them with employers.

What Would Change

Currently, the Department of Veterans Affairs does not have a specific requirement to create a plan focused on helping veterans find jobs in advanced manufacturing. If this bill passes, the Department of Veterans Affairs would have to make and share such a plan within 30 days. This plan would find out about challenges and chances, aiming to better connect veterans with advanced manufacturing careers.
