Veterans' Employment Representatives

Local veteran employment representatives (LVERs) and disabled veterans outreach program representatives (DVOPs) provide these services to veterans in New Mexico.

DVOP -- Disabled Veteran Outreach Program Specialist

DVOPs focus on providing intensive services with priority to special disabled, disabled veterans, and other eligible veterans in accordance with priorities determined by Public Law 107-288.
