Participating individuals, who must elect to join, include veterans and those eligible for preseparation counseling. The program will allow approved employers to search a database containing information such as anticipated discharge dates, military and civilian skills, certifications, geographic and employment preferences, and resumes. The Secretary is mandated to consult with the Departments of Defense and Labor, employers, veterans service organizations, and state workforce agencies to effectively implement this initiative.
