The Secretary's Advisory Committee on Employment, Training and Employer Outreach met January 25 to discuss new initiatives to help veterans seek employment and to hear from Keith Kelly, the new assistant secretary of labor who heads the Veterans' Employment and Training Service. Kelly, a Vietnam veteran, told the audience he is committed to providing returning service men and women with the employment support, assistance and opportunities they need to find meaningful civilian careers. He said he hopes to improve outreach to service members, bolster intensive employment services to those with significant barriers to employment, implement and improve the redesigned department's Transition Assistance Program, and enhance his agency's ability to measure and report on the impact of its programs by improving data collection and reporting.
