VAMC system description of service

The Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) program helps Veterans with physical and mental health challenges, as well as other barriers, find and keep jobs. We help you find jobs through our long-term partnerships with business, industry, and government agencies.

We offer the following services:

  • Our Transitional Work Program matches Veterans' skills with specific, short-term job placements and provides supervision to help them gain work experience
  • Our Supported Employment Program has two components: one provides long-term support for Veterans with serious mental illnesses to help them gain employment in their communities, and the other provides similar services to Veterans with physical and/or psychosocial barriers as well as those at risk of homelessness
  • Our Transitional Residence Program provides a structured, therapeutic living environment in which Veterans participate in vocational rehabilitation activities at least 30 hours per week
  • Supported Education provides case-managed, recovery-oriented educational assistance services to Veterans who wish to pursue educational opportunities
  • We offer vocational assistance to help Veterans improve their job-search and career development skills
