Opportunities to return to employment for Veterans

VA’s Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) is comprised of three unique programs which assist homeless Veterans in returning to competitive employment: Sheltered Workshop, Transitional Work, and Supported Employment. Veterans in CWT are paid at least the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is the higher.

Formerly homeless Veterans who have been trained as Vocational Rehabilitation Specialists (VRSs) provide these services.
