CVSP Trainings

The Certificate for Veterans' Service Providers (CVSP) training curriculum -- the first of its kind in the nation -- is a principal component of Operation College Promise programming. The training is intended to prepare veterans' service providers with the essential tools and knowledge to assist veterans succeed in the transition to civilian life.

The CVSP training has been offered at four different locations including The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, Ramapo College of New Jersey, Texas State University - San Marcos, and the University of North Carolina - Charlotte. More than 300 professionals from 25 states have participated.

To complement the CVSP endeavor and provide a transferable resource beyond, OCP drafted a comprehensive New Jersey resource guide for service providers, "The OCP Field Guide -- Creating an Environment for Veteran Success in the 21st Century." The original "Guide," now in its first reprint, will be expanded for national dissemination both in print and electronically (with the assistance of the American Council on Education and Wal-Mart) to thousands of additional institutions and veteran service providers.
