What is VetSuccess?
“Encouraging, promoting, and supporting veterans to be successful in their educational and career endeavors.”
The United States Office of Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) division partners with certain schools to provide a dedicated staff member on campus to enhance the educational experience for student veterans. This program is known as VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC). Syracuse University is the only VSOC partner school in the state of New York, and because of this we are able to offer added value to our student veterans. These benefits include:
Extra help navigating VA and health benefits- Career exploration, interesting and aptitude testing
- Job placement assistance and coordination with Local Veterans’ Employment Representatives (LVER) and Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program (DVOP)
- Education and training opportunities for survivors and dependents
- Adjustment counseling to resolve problems related to completing education or working
- Referrals to health and community services
Do I Qualify?
