VPL 03-14 KEY POINTS
• Screening for SBE’s – Done by AJC Staff– The tool used will determine flow of traffic
• Self Attestation – Whatever the veteran says– Once they get to your office now what…– Identified SBE most likely not the main or only
issue
In order to realign DVOP specialists’
roles, DOL is directing that
DVOP specialists must limit their
activities to providing services to eligible persons
who:
• meet the definition of an individual with a SBE specifically defined in this module, or
• are members of a veteran population identified as eligible for DVOP services
In the event that a DVOP specialist does not have a full-case load of eligible persons
they may perform additional
activities in this order:
• Review all open case files of current participants with a SBE or in a priority category and perform case management duties
• Conduct outreach activities with other service providers for the same populations
Special Disabled or Disabled Veteran
• those who are entitled to compensation (or those receiving military retired pay that otherwise would be entitled to compensation) by the VA; or,
• were discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability

How does a self
attested veteran
get to you?
Intake
Most offices have a function that
provides a process for identifying and selecting veterans with SBE’s to be
served by the DVOP.
Describe the process your office utilizes.
What is a Barrier or Employment Issue?
Barrier or Employment Issue
Anything the veteran perceives to be a
barrier to employment, is a
barrier to employment.
Veteran Populations Challenges
1. Once a veteran with an SBE gets to you – you must determine if this is the only SBE causing an employment road block. Many veterans with one SBE will more than likely have several SBE issues operating simultaneously.
2. At your table - work with your assigned SBE to uncover key employment challenges, using the summary sheets within your section or other information.
3. Report out what your summary sheets and/or further research has uncovered.
SBE impact rating form
1. Use the SBE impact form (in manual) to rate the impact each SBE has on employment within your community.
2. For example, in some Service Delivery Points (SDP) having a felony conviction has less impact b/c the SDP has access to a robust referral network with employers who have a history of hiring people with felony convictions.
3. In contrast, that same SDP might not have a strong referral of network providers that help people with homelessness and poverty and low educational resource needs.
DVOP Scope of Practice
1. Knowledge and awareness of how to identify target audience employment barriers and strengths.
2. Knowledge and awareness of how to assist a target audience member with attachment to the workforce.
3. Knowledge of how to conduct an assessment for referral.
4. How to develop SMART goals and write EDPs/IDPs that align with identified SBEs and strengths of the target audience.
DVOP Scope of Practice
• What is your role in helping veterans with SBE’s find and keep employment?
• What tools do you have to help with this objective?
• What resources internal or external do you have to assist veterans with SBE’s find and keep employment?
• How does Intensive Services assist with this objective?
