23 Dispatch from the Front Lines The National Clearinghouse for Veterans Treatment Courts at the National Association of Drug Court Professionals June 2012 Justice For Vets Veterans Treatment Courts Send Veterans Back to School By Matt Stiner, M.P.A. Director, Justice For Vets Veterans Treatment Courts have emerged as a vital tool in the fight against veteran unemployment by connecting veterans to the education and training benefits offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). It is critical for Veterans Treatment Court personnel to be aware of the many VA education and training benefits available to veterans. Justice For Vets provides the following Dispatch to briefly summarize VA education and other federal benefits and instruct courts on connecting veterans to opportunities in higher education. The majority of Americans who serve in the Armed Forces are strengthened by their military service. Attention to detail, self-discipline, problem-solving, teamwork and decision-making in stressful situations are qualities that make service members an invaluable part of the American workforce. Some veterans have difficulty finding employment when they transition to civilian life because they struggle to translate their military experience into applicable job skills.
