About us

In January 2008 the Crane Learning and Employment Center (CLEC) created a pilot program in association with the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Indiana. The pilot was designed to assist with job placement of military veterans who had service-connected disabilities and were in need of vocational rehabilitation to achieve their career goals. The pilot utilized the Student Educational Employment Program at Crane Naval Station; a year-round program in which students may work full-time, part-time, or alternate work periods with periods at school.  Due to the success of the pilot, which ended in August of 2009, CLEC has become a program of record and continues to function at Crane as well as branching out to research other employment opportunities for veterans with disabilities.

Participants receive individualized attention from CLEC staff in order to address their needs and determine a beneficial course of action. The goals of CLEC are as follows

•      Assess the workforce preparation needs of each veteran.

     Bring groups of veterans to a Center where multiple organizations work together to
     provide comprehensive services.

     Create small groups of trainees among the participants to help support each other
     through the training program.

     Provide unified case management for participants.

     Provide family support services.

     Offer customized career education programs.
