Veteran employment

Employment awareness is ready to go but it needs support to give it credibility. Big businesses don't seem to be interested. It is logical to get Team River Runner involved for the following reasons: 1) The veteran population does not get much vocational support. 2) Approval wouldn't require a lengthy process. 3) The guidelines can be strict but they can also be adjusted. This program is ultimately for individuals even though it starts with education for employers. This would be the perfect match and it would generate interest and bring in money. Eventually other TRR's and then vocational agencies would implement it- why not? The goal of TRR is empowerment and inclusion, what better way for those goals to be reached than by getting a job? If the summer retreat for blind kids can be approved and really admired by the higher ups then this can be just as meaningful and successful. I will try very hard to make this happen.
