Occupational Skills <br />Hiring Veterans with a minimum of three to four years of hands-on military experience <br />in their field provides experience and transferrable skills to employers in concert with <br />any possible civilian work experience and or training in the manufacturing sector. The <br />Veteran candidates receive quality training similar to advanced vocational schools in <br />the military. Employers will be getting these highly trained and trainable candidates <br />with an already large manufacturing skillset provided at the government's expense. <br />The Tierney Center for Veterans Services uses several tools to help evaluate and <br />translate military skillsets into civilian manufacturing industry terms and descriptions. <br />We currently use Military Skills Translator, CareerScope and O'NET. Santa Ana AJCC <br />will also administer an extensive evaluation for those veterans interested in training <br />opportunities. The Comprehensive Assessment Report utilizes Career Category Best <br />Matches, COPS -Interests, COPES -Values, GAIN, and the full CAPS evaluation. This <br />valuable assessment ensures that the veteran is able and capable of utilizing his/her <br />training to become employed in the industry sector identified. By using these tools, <br />Veterans take advantage of the most important skills gained in the military and translate <br />them on to their resumes and include them in their conversations with manufacturing, <br />and business employers in terms they understand. <br />Ill. 6. Service Delivery Plan----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Tierney Center for Veterans Services (TCVS) at Goodwill of Orange County has a <br />proven service delivery model that has been very successful with our veteran <br />population. The key to effective placement in employment is a thorough assessment <br />of the veterans' skills, interests, and capabilities upon intake. Following the assessment <br />described above, veterans are enrolled into the program and begin to work with their <br />Employment Specialists on an Individual Career and Financial Plan (ICFP). Enrollment <br />into either our two week orientation designed for Chapter 31 disabled veterans, or <br />individual assistance with resume writing and Job Seeking Skills prepare the veteran <br />for the job application process. Our ICFP directly addresses the barriers to employment. <br />If additional services such as housing or mental health support are required, we refer <br />directly to our partner agencies. Peer navigation is a strong component of our model; <br />our Employment and Outreach Specialists are able to provide direct services related to <br />employment and also ensure that the other needs are addressed with support from our <br />community partners. Once the appropriate track of services is determined the veterans <br />or their eligible spouses will be identified as Chapter 31(veterans only) vs co -enrolled <br />at AJCC, Manufacturing vs. Business/Professional Services, Training (OSHA Health <br />and Safetv.
