In the cas- of veterans with
service connected disabilities, the
advisement process is required be.
fore the veteran can take ad-
vantage of the facilities offered by
the government training program.
Clinical guidance is a requisite
also for those veterans, under
Public Law 346, who anticipate a
major change in their college cur
ricula. In addition, the guidance
service is at the disposal OF any
college or non-coilege veteran with
personal or vocational problems
and who is interested enough to
take the time for diagnosis and
appraisal.
For instance, a student may
wish to be assured that he is pre-
pairing himself for the most ad-
vantageous line of work for which
he is equipped, insofar as his in.
terests and ability are concerned.
