Employment Programs

Employment is the bedrock of personal and family self-sufficiency. As a special part of Impact’s broader Employment And Training work, Veterans Services aims to help every qualified veteran capable of returning to the workforce to do so.

The Departmnet of Labor funded Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) has been the core of Impact’s employment services for homeless veterans since 1993, when Impact received the first such grant ever awarded in Philadelphia.

Impact’s transitional housing programs, along with veteran-serving partner and collaborating agencies, refer homeless veterans to HVRP. Impact’s HVRP program also attracts walk-ins to our 124 E. Indiana Avenue site, located near the intersection of Front and Allegheny Avenue.

In addition to core job search and placement services skills assessment, use of CareerLink resources, resume preparation, and interview scheduling the program also assists veterans with medical, legal, financial, housing, family reunification, and other issues that can be barriers to employment.

Employers working with Impact create a steady demand for workers in the following areas:

• Security
• Food Preparation
• Warehousing
• Production Assemblers
• Janitorial Services

Impact is always working to expand the pool of employers interested in hiring America’s vets. If you know a company with openings for full time positions with benefits, please contact us.
