Transition Assistance Program Support

Background
The Department of Labor (DOL), Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) program requires contractor services for support of the Transition Assistance Program (TAP). VETS requires support with advancing the ongoing implementation; sustainment, and enhancement of DOL’s responsibilities in TAP; to ensure Service Members and their families have the necessary career tools and information to seamlessly transition into the civilian workforce.
Each year, an estimated 200,000 servicemen and women separate from active duty in the United States military; resulting in new veterans returning to civilian life. Many separating Service Members have plans upon transition, while several others encounter challenges in preparing for civilian positions, seeking employment, and integrating their skills into new careers.
