NRCS New York Veteran's Special Emphasis Program

Mission

Veteran's Emphasis Program (VEP) is designed to provide focus on issues such as employment, promotion, training, and career enhancement affecting veteran employees in NRCS.

Veteran's Emphasis Program also provides a network of professional support for veterans in NRCS, provides information to all employees, and keeps employees informed of issues affecting veterans.

Veteran employees who are interested in self‑development find help through VEP. The program manager advises National Headquarters of the concerns of Veteran employees, participates in recruitment efforts, contributes to the development of the overall Equal Opportunity Program, and attends, participates, and delivers quarterly reports at Equal Opportunity Committee meetings.
