A U.S. firm that trains and re-employs wounded American soldiers is looking at American Samoa's proposed call centres as employment opportunity for returning injured service members.
The company is Smart Solutions of Delaware, headed by John Scudi, a retired Rear Admiral.
Governor Togiola Tulafono met with Mr Scudi two weeks ago on the U.S. mainland.
Mr Scudi is interested in collaborating with American Samoa to create and identify employment opportunities for wounded soldiers to work in Information Technology.
In particular, says Togiola, are jobs in the Territory's proposed call centres and Mr Scudi has informed the governor the U.S. Navy has funding to train wounded soldiers.
This particular training program is called the Veterans Individual Training Assistance Link
VITAL provides Wounded Warriors the opportunity to grow in a career of choice.
Smart Solutions is involved with VITAL.
