The Combined Arms Institute and Hire Heroes, USA will host a webinar Veteran Employment Programming: What Works? on Wednesday, May 12, 2:00-3:30pm (Eastern Time).  Join Dr. Daniel Perkins from the Penn State Clearinghouse for Military Families to learn what works in employment programming. Is what you are spending time and money on in employment programming in the best interest of the veteran community?  Data and information presented is based on research from the Veterans Metrics Initiative, a longitudinal study of 10,000 transitioning veterans.  The presentation will last one hour followed by a 30 minute Q&A.
