The University of Southern California (USC) School of Social Work conducted two extensive studies to identify the major hurdles faced by veterans and published their results in report titled “The State of the American Veteran.”

USC SUMMARY
Emphasize the need for proactive educational instruction and employment programs that can help veterans secure work in the civilian job sector.
An essential component of the skills training outlined in the report includes education on the differences between military culture and civilian culture, emphasizing corporate communication skills.
Lack of innovative employment solutions for those suffering severe physical injuries sustained during combat missions.
Permanently disabled veterans often find themselves unable to secure employment that provides adequate remuneration, intensifying problems such as financial distress and social isolation.
Systematic lack of preventative programs as a glaring omission in our current suite of veteran services and noting that many services are not available to veterans until they are in crisis.
The rising population of veterans makes this a critical time for our nation to improve the scope and depth of veteran support programs, and for communities to take ownership in the process of reintegrating those who served our country as they return home.
It is only through proactive programs that approach the hurdles veterans face in a creative and informed manner that we can prevent the acute and chronic financial and social distress experienced by so many veterans.
