Upon completion of the course, veterans will be given a certificate in organic management and awarded job placement, a business plan, or the opportunity to further their education. The Department of Labor shows that the national unemployment rate for veterans ages 18 to 44 was 13.9%, compared to 9.7% for non-veterans of the same age group.
