Veterans Affairs committee  I have a good example. Recently we had an individual who was working with one of our coaches in Ontario and she was really interested in aerospace. She came from the air force. She was working with a coach. She came across a job posting and the individual was wondering whether or

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes, it's about the attitude. You can't train attitude. It's impossible.

Veterans Affairs committee  That's a great question. Right Management is a career transition firm. We are not in the area of vocational rehab. I might be casting you in the wrong light here, and I hope I'm not, but we have no intention of starting to occupy that business space. They do a fantastic job, and

Veterans Affairs committee  I want to answer your earlier question about our program. Yes, if they're honourably discharged, they have access to our services. My brain wasn't working at that point.

Veterans Affairs committee  There's a fairly fundamental difference here between CanVet and ourselves, in that, primarily, our services are not for disabled members or veterans.

Veterans Affairs committee  That's the $64,000 question.

Veterans Affairs committee  I really think it's not just the technical piece. We always get focused on that. We get that question all the time from people. It's the robust set of skills, and I would say there are a lot of interpersonal and attitudinal pieces that Canadian employers.... We've had a lot of

Veterans Affairs committee  If I could answer, it's similar: we would have to look into our number. What we do is we coach people around developing a business plan, so helping them learn how to do a market analysis, putting cashflow projections together. We're not accountants or lawyers, but we would teach

Veterans Affairs committee  Could you go over which ones again?

Veterans Affairs committee  I would say we're seeing our folks landing in all industries at all levels. It really depends upon their objective. In our job bank, for example, we have everything from clerical positions all the way up to senior management positions.
