CRITICAL SKILLS INCENTIVE (CSI): This occupation is currently approved for a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) enterprise-wide CSI.

As a Housekeeping Aid, you will perform a full range of light and heavy cleaning duties and routine housekeeping duties. Veterans rely on the skills of these professionals to keep patient areas clean and safe by addressing spills quickly, discarding trash, installing light bulbs in halls and rooms, and vacuuming and polishing floors.
