The article considers current aspects of professional training of veterans in the system of postgraduate education in the conditions of a changing social environment and martial law. Special attention is paid to the implementation of inclusive approaches to the organization of the educational process, the formation of competencies and the development of social responsibility. The importance of social support as a factor in the successful integration of veterans into the professional environment is substantiated. Based on the experience of American universities, particularly Brown University, a model of veteran support during the educational process is proposed, taking into account their individual needs and life experiences.
