Empowering Veterans through the Build

Congresswoman DelBene’s district office has been selected to participate in the Wounded Warrior Fellowship Program (job description attached).

The Wounded Warrior Program was established to create employment opportunities for veterans within the U.S. House of Representatives. These two-year fellowships provide veterans with experience and exposure to broaden career opportunities. Wherever possible, those selected for the program will be given the opportunity to transition into full-time employment. However, full-time employment is not guaranteed at the conclusion of the two-year fellowship.

Requirements: This program is limited to veterans who have served on active duty since September 11, 2001, with less than 20 years of service and have a minimum 30% disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs;.
In addition to a current resumé, applicants must submit a copy of their DD214 (Page 4) and a VA letter confirming that they have at least a 30-percent service-connected disability rating.

Contact: Interested veterans should visit http://www.cao.house.gov for more information. Please submit a resume, a copy of the last DD-214 issued (page 4) and a letter from the VA indicating a 30% or greater rating (not necessary if medically retired) to housewoundedwarriors@mail.house.gov. Do not send resumes directly to the office of Congresswoman DelBene
