Group to offer help for unemployed veterans

A national organization is coming back to Las Vegas to help unemployed veterans get back into the workforce.

Platform to Employment, a national organization, has partnered with the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation to put veterans who apply through a five-week program, where they’ll go through career readiness workshops and skills assessment.

After completing the program, veterans will have the chance for paid work or job-training positions with local companies.

Unemployed veterans can apply online at www.platformtoemplyoment.com until June 6.

The training will start later that month.
