The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recently hosted and participated in a series of partnership events in Puerto Rico to advance the economic success of service members, veterans and families living on the island. As a result of the economic partnership roundtable, VA is projecting the following outcomes: (1) the Transition Assistance Program, administered by TED, will deliver briefings about a variety of benefits at U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Sector San Juan for USCG service members on the island; (2) the Warrior Training Advancement Course will be offered at Fort Buchanan in fiscal year 2019. Among the pool of graduates, 25 Veteran service representatives will be hired; (3) the Puerto Rico National Call Center will expand through the hiring of 15 agents; and (4) five full-time employees will be hired to work at the San Juan Regional Office.
