Partnership Criteria and Validation Input Form

The Department of Labor’s (DOL) Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) will be conducting an Employment
Navigator Partnership (ENP) Pilot from April 2021 through April 2022. VETS will place 54 ENs at 13 military installations
worldwide to assist targeted transitioning service members (TSMs), and their spouses (S), in identifying and selecting quality
career pathways and connecting them with quality employment and training resources and opportunities with the hopes of
improving veterans’ employment outcomes.
