The programs will provide comprehensive assistance including training, job placement services, financial aid, technical support, and business creation help for veterans transitioning from military service to civilian workforce. ODVA will develop specific criteria to address veterans' unique skills and needs, and create application processes for veterans to access support from various private training providers, employment placement services, and entities that can help veterans establish their own construction-related businesses. The department may use funds from the Veterans' Services Fund to develop and maintain these programs and can also solicit additional gifts, grants, and donations. The pilot programs will be in effect until December 31, 2027, and ODVA is required to submit a report on the programs' status to legislative committees by September 15, 2026. The bill includes an emergency clause, making it effective on July 1, 2025, with the intent of quickly providing workforce assistance to veterans in the construction industry.
