Georgia Department of Labor's Vanessa Ryals-Cook recognized for service to veterans by state VFW
ATLANTA Vanessa Ryals-Cook, a Local Veterans Employment Representative (LVER) in the Georgia Department of Labor's Cedartown Career Center, has been named the department's LVER of the year. The award was presented recently by the Georgia Chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) at the annual veterans' conference at Lake Lanier.
"Vanessa Ryals-Cook is most deserving of this recognition for her dedication to providing highquality employment services to veterans," said State Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond. "Assisting the men and women who've served and defended our country with their careers is one of the most important services of the Georgia Department of Labor. I'm proud of the work Vanessa and her colleagues do for Georgia's veterans."
A U.S. Army veteran, Ryals-Cook received the award for her outstanding service to the veterans of Haralson and Polk counties, who are served by the Cedartown Career Center. The Georgia Department of Labor employs LVERs who are military veterans to provide services exclusively to veterans in 53 career centers throughout the state.
The services provided to veterans include: skills and interest assessments, career exploration and training guides, training referrals, resume preparation, effective job search, interviewing skills, job referral, job offer evaluation, and referrals to support services at the U.S. Veterans Administration and rehabilitation services at the Georgia Department of Labor.
