- The government will identify barriers that veterans face when trying to get hired at ports, railroads, and trucking companies. It will also look at the challenges employers face when trying to recruit and keep veteran workers.
- The plan will highlight how military skills can be used in transportation jobs and recommend new training or mentorship programs to help veterans succeed in these roles.
- The policy aims to help veterans find stable careers while also solving workforce shortages that make it difficult to move goods across the country.
