Employment and Training Services
Several programs exist under the umbrella of Veteran Village's employment and training department offering assistance to homeless, unemployed and in many cases under-employed veterans in the San Diego Metro, South County, North County and East County areas. VVSD's services include career assessments and guidance, job search and training assistance and other supportive services(clothing, tools, transportation, etc.) as necessary to ensure job readiness and successful placements. If you know a veteran who is in need of employment or training assistance, please refer them to one of our sites. Click on the link for your area for further information.
In its more than twenty five years of operating programs, VVSD has developed an extensive network of referral agencies and employment training resources to assist our clients to successfully become employed at an average wage of $12.00 per hour.
The Employment Services Department is headed by Mr. Kenneth Rae. Mr. Rae oversees the various Department of Labor and San Diego Workforce Partnership funded employment and training programs at VVSD. WIA (Workforce Investment Act), HVRP (Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program), and the newly awarded (RSVP) Recently Seperated Veterans Program, which targets returning Iraqi/Afghanistan veterans.
