Also participating in the roundtable were veterans who have benefited from a DOL program such as training, employment or apprenticeship.

Walsh discussed various topics regarding veterans and their barriers to employment.

The event provided the opportunity for TVC VES  to discuss with the Walsh concerns regarding assisting veterans and any challenges TVC or partners may encounter while providing employment assistance. Further discussion was held on what could be helpful in providing veterans an envelope of services in one location.

In attendance with Lozano and Renninger was South Texas District Manager and Marine Corps veteran Al King.
