| Abstract: | Full employment of Vietnam-era veterans is a major goal. The success of placement efforts rests heavily upon employment service counselors. This article briefly traces the etiology and nature of our concern for. Vietnam-era vets and suggests that a successful placement program depends largely upon three factors: (a) an understanding of the characteristics of present-day veterans, (b) an awareness of allied agencies, programs, and industries comprising the network of helping services, and (c) intimate knowledge of employers, their personnel representatives, the nature of the jobs available, and the practical workings of the placement process. |
