MADISON (WREX) - A federal grant will help provide employment and training assistance to members of the Wisconsin National Guard returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Other war veterans searching for work will also be eligible for the services provided by the $553,000 grant. "This grant will help us provide additional services to meet the employment needs of our veterans, especially the brave men and women returning from their tour of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan this fall and next year," Governor Doyle said. "They have served their country, now we must do our best to help them."
Starting this fall, 3,200 members of the Wisconsin National Guard will return from Iraq.
Veterans seeking employment and training services should first register on the DWD website, http://www.jobcenterofwisconsin.com/. They can find information about services on the Office of Veterans Services page, http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/veterans/
