Bill Gladwin has just retired and has taken up the responsibility of helping Mendon veterans. 

Gladwin has created the www.VAhelp.us website to give quick access to invaluable information to veterans. It provides quick links to not only our national websites for veterans, but also information specific to Massachusetts.  

Another useful purpose for VAhelp.us is direct access to O*NET [Occupational Information Network] OnLine which describes over 300 potential job positions from 20 different industries. From each industry, O*NET has these different segments, including: 

•  Occupation-Specific Information like Tasks & Technology Skills

•  Occupational Requirements with Work Activities, Detailed Work Activities & Work Context.

•  Experience Requirements describing Job Zone, Training & Credentials & Apprenticeship Opportunities.

•  Worker Requirements needing Skills, Knowledge and Education.

•  Worker Characteristics having Abilities, Interests, Work Values and Work Styles

•  Workforce Characteristics with Wages & Employment Trends and Job Openings on the Web

• More Information like Related Occupations and Professional Associations
