Veterans Emphasis Program
 VETERANS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!
This program is directed at assuring that all veterans, particularly Vietnam
Era and disabled veterans have the full measure of equal program participation
and employment in the Federal service. The legal basis for the program include
the Veterans Preference Act of 1944 (codified as 5 USC 2108); 5 USC 3114 (non-
competitive appointing authority for 30 percent or more disabled veterans) and
the Veterans Readjustment Appointment (EO I 1 521); Vietnam Era Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974 (38 USC 2104).
The program seeks to:
- Eliminate concentrations of veterans in
single interval series to diversify and create advancement opportunities.
- Encourage the participation of veterans
in all NRCS-sponsored programs and activities.
- Provide a network of professional
support for veterans.
- Ensure that the veteran’s community
receives equal treatment in all aspects of employment.
- Provide opportunities to participate in
training and training programs such as career enhancement, graduate studies,
and others.
