Assistant Secretary James D. Rodriguez spoke at the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) National Convention in Phoenix, Arizona last month. It was a wonderful opportunity for him to highlight DOL VETS' programs and resources during their Employment & Entrepreneurship Seminar. While in Phoenix, he also visited an Incarcerated Veterans' Transition Program grantee, A New Leaf, and a local American Job Center. The trip was a wonderful opportunity to see how the Grand Canyon State supports their veterans!

ICYMI, Assistant Secretary James D. Rodriguez supported Acting Secretary Julie Su at a Workforce Development event at the Apprentice School in Newport News, Virginia last week. Su and Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro visited Virginia to see how the school – one of the nation’s critical apprenticeship programs – is making construction of one of the world’s most capable and adaptable aircraft carriers, the PCU John F. Kennedy, possible. The US Navy and the U.S. Department of Labor have partnered to help advance Secretary Del Toro’s Maritime Statecraft Initiative and to create high-quality, good-paying jobs critical to national security, using practices included in the departments of Labor and Commerce’s Good Jobs Principles to fill the estimated 10,000 jobs needed per year over the next 10 years in the growing maritime industry. Currently, the Navy is piloting a program to train experienced union welders to join a rotational expeditionary workforce that deploys to shipyards nationwide to support naval objectives. In October, the first class of 169 union welders will begin work on PCU John F. Kennedy at Newport News. In this joint effort, the departments will pursue the following key outcomes: - Expanded equitable workforce development pathways to good jobs through pre-apprenticeship and Registered Apprenticeship programs. - Broader active partnership with the Department of Labor’s Job Corps program. - Developed and expanded partnerships with agencies, including the department’s Employment and Training Administration, Veterans Employment and Training Service, and Women’s Bureau to advance to advance workforce development initiatives aligned with the Good Jobs Principles.

What comes to mind when you think of New Jersey? Diners? Atlantic City? Bon Jovi? At DOL VETS, we think about our amazing veterans, service members and military spouses who call the Garden State home. This month, as we celebrate #LaborDay, we're proud to spotlight New Jersey, which was one of the first states to pass a law creating a Labor Day holiday! In 1887, New Jersey joined the ranks of states that recognized Labor Day, paving the way for this important holiday to be celebrated nationwide. As part of our ongoing #VETSInYourCommunity series, we’re excited to showcase the Garden State and our efforts to support its veterans! At DOL VETS, we’re investing in service members, veterans, and their families in communities across America.
