Veterans Readiness & Employmentent (VR&E) can provide a wide range of vocational and educational counseling services to service members still on active duty, as well as veterans and dependents who are eligible for one of the VA's educational benefit programs. These services are designed to help an individual choose a vocational direction and determine the course needed to achieve their chosen goal.
Assistance may include interest and aptitude testing, occupational exploration, setting occupational goals, locating the right type of training program and exploring educational or training facilities which might be utilized.
Free counseling services are provided to eligible applicants. However, Veterans Affairs does not pay for transportation to the place of counseling. VA Form 28-8832 is used to apply for Vocational Educational Counseling.
If you would like additional information on any of the VA Educational programs, please contact the nearest Regional VA Benefits Office, call (800)-827-1000 or visit the VA Education Service web site.
