Blinded Vietnam Era Veterans in Search of Work

Abstract

A high rate of unemployment among Vietnam veterans prompted an investigation into their use of available job resources and training in job-seeking skills. Response to a questionnaire submitted to these veterans revealed that few were utilizing available resources and that training was needed in resumé preparation, job-seeking procedures, and interview techniques. The need was established for further research into the problems of the blind veteran and the necessity of establishing training courses to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and attainment of employment.
