Bill > S02067

This bill establishes a veteran career assistance program within the State University of New York (SUNY) and City University of New York (CUNY) systems. The program will be developed by the state commissioner in collaboration with the chancellors of SUNY and CUNY, and will provide veterans with professional support services including resume writing assistance and employment placement services. The program will utilize existing resources such as campus veterans service offices, career centers, and opportunity centers, ensuring no additional funding is required. By leveraging current infrastructure, the bill aims to help veterans transition more effectively into civilian employment, using the established networks and support systems within the state university systems. The program will take effect 120 days after becoming law, allowing time for implementation and coordination between the state commissioner and university leadership.
