AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans 

Affairs (VA) announces its Educational 

and Career Counseling has been 

renamed Personalized Career Planning 

and Guidance (PCPG). The new name 

will enhance stakeholder recognition of 

counseling services provided under 

Chapter 36 and will support more 

effective program outreach and 

communication. 

DATES: The changes were effective 

October 1, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective 

October 1, 2020, VA changed the name 

of its Chapter 36 benefit provided under 

38 U.S.C. 3697A from Educational and 

Career Counseling to PCPG. PCPG 

provides Service members, Veterans and 

eligible dependents with enhanced 

career counseling, assessments, 

education planning and guidance 

resources that are unique to the needs 

of each participant to set and achieve 

personal, career and education goals. 

To enhance program awareness and 

utilization of counseling services 

provided under Chapter 36, the 

Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) 

conducted human-centered design 

(HCD) research with Veterans and 

Service members to better understand 

their career and education needs and 

preferences related to the benefit. 

Through the HCD research, VBA 

identified program strengths, 

weaknesses, pain points and 

opportunities to better serve our eligible 

beneficiaries and better align Chapter 36 

benefits with their values and 

ambitions. 

The new name clarifies the type of 

benefits the program offers for eligible 

participants by emphasizing the right 

career and education counseling 

themes. This name change also is an 

important part of VBA’s wider effort to 

support a more successful military-tocivilian transition. For more information
