Employment and Training Services
Several programs exist under the umbrella of VVSD's employment assistance to all veterans in the San Diego Metro, South County, North County and East County areas. Our 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.
