Able-Disabled Advocacy helps Veterans find Jobs and More
Able-Disabled Advocacy (A-DA) has been providing workforce development services for San Diego veterans with and without disabilities since 1976. A-DA’s Vet-WORKS program is funded in full through a $500,000 grant from the State of California Employment Development Department (EDD) to serve recently separated veterans and veterans with service connected disabilities. The program is designed to provide customized job related assistance to veterans in their search for meaningful employment at no cost.
All participants enrolled in the VetWORKS program receive job readiness training that consists of classroom instruction or one-on-one assistance. The VetWORKS office also offers a computer lab that is available to veterans to conduct job search or other employment related activities, with added support from A-DA’s professional and experienced job counselors.
VetWORKS also offers veterans tuition for short-term vocational training that is necessary to gain new skills for entry into the civilian work-force or assistance with skills upgrading for career advancement.
The VetWORKS office is located at 1111 Bay Blvd., Suite E, Chula Vista, CA 91911. The phone number is 619-424-6860. Call, drop-in or log on to www.abledisabledadvocacy.org for more information.
