grant funding. Selected programs will assist eligible Veterans by
providing employment, training, support services, credentialing,
networking information, and/or other assistance.WIA section 168, 29

the needs for workforce investment activities of Veterans with service-
connected disabilities, Veterans who have significant barriers to
employment, Veterans who served on active duty in the armed forces
during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge
has been authorized, and recently separated Veterans within 48 months

received a ``dishonorable'' discharge are ineligible for VWIP services.
Priority of service for Veterans in all Department of Labor funded
training programs is established in 38 U.S.C. 4215.

of effective service delivery systems that will address the complex
employability problems facing eligible veterans.
Projects that support the President's commitment to ``Green Energy
Jobs'' and propose a clear strategy for training and employment in the
renewable energy economy, are considered unique and innovative and will
receive priority consideration.
