Existing law requires the Employment Development Department, in consultation and coordination with veterans’ organizations and veteran service providers, to research the needs of veterans throughout the state and develop a profile of veterans’ employment and training needs and to seek federal funding for those purposes.
This bill would require the Employment Development Department and the Department of Consumer Affairs, on or before January 1, 2015, jointly to present a report to the Legislature containing best practices by state governments around the nation in facilitating the credentialing of veterans by using their documented military education and experience.
