Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA)

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) is a U.S. law aimed at supporting veterans, particularly those who served during the Vietnam War era, in their transition to civilian life. It requires federal contractors and subcontractors to actively recruit and hire veterans and prohibits discrimination against them in employment. The law helps ensure that veterans receive fair treatment in the workforce, promoting their skills and contributions while addressing challenges they may face in readjusting to civilian society. Essentially, VEVRAA is about recognizing and supporting veterans' rights in employment opportunities.
