Whether you are Active Duty, Retired, Guard or Reserve, family member or caregiver, our program is designed to help with all aspects of the “re-entry” process. The Institute has more than 25 years’ experience and a wide range of services at our veterans’ disposal. Houston has one of the largest populations in the country of Guard and Reserve personnel, in addition to the many Active Duty veterans who come to Southeast Texas for the job opportunities. We work with the local Guard and Reserve commands to provide their members transition services before, during, and after deployments. When members separate we help them make permanent transition to civilian life. So please stop by! You can also visit the “Contact Us” tab and tell us how we can best serve you.
