Vet2Vet: VET-TAP Program

The Veterans' Employment Training & Transitions Assistance Program is dedicated to assisting Homeless veterans, and those at risk of being homeless, to find new employment opportunities and strengthen their employability.

VET-TAP can assist veterans in gaining new certifications, skills, as well as on-the-job training and apprenticeship opportunities. Additionally, VET-TAP can assist in building resumes and cover letters, to help in preparation for job applications.

The goal of VET-TAP is to curb veteran homelessness through meaningful employment. VET-TAP works hand-in-hand with Vet2Vet’s H.E.R.O. Program for housing assistance.
