The Texas Veterans Leadership Program (TVLP), sponsored by the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC), is a comprehensive program that assists returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan as they resume civilian life in Texas. TVLP is modeled after the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program developed by TWC Chairman Tom Pauken during the Reagan administration. It is veterans helping veterans. TWC oversees 28 local workforce development boards across Texas. Each board is staffed with a Veterans Resource and Referral Specialist (VRRS) who actively reaches out to returning veterans. TVLP helps veterans return to civilian life and into the Texas workforce.

Resource and referral services provided to veterans upon their return from active duty include:

• Job search and employment assistance
• Education and training resources
• Federal and state programs
• Services from community organizations
