Company tour is the first step and don't be late. They accept applicants that are associated with the VA, DVR, and other agencies, but also people with no agency association. There is an application that must be returned the following week and then an interview with a job counselor. After that a drug test. Then you must wait for someone to leave the program. It took a month for me to get a slot. Then sometime you must go for another drug test. They will give you a basic math test, if you fail, you will be required to take their Math Course which off the clock. They also have a Blueprint reading course which you don't get paid for either. They also give an Mechanical Aptitude test.
