Greetings VET TEC students!
We regret to inform you that this will be the final VET TEC Jobs Newsletter. This decision has been made after deliberate consideration and an extensive review of the VET TEC program. VET TEC, a five-year pilot program aimed at aiding Veterans in transitioning from program completion to meaningful employment, has provided a wealth of information regarding the program, as well as other education benefits and services during this time.
The VET TEC program officially concluded in April 2024; the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) continues to pay benefits for Veterans who are still in training. VA experienced significant success with the VET TEC program, owing to the collaboration of esteemed partners, training providers, and dedicated Veterans and beneficiaries. We are truly grateful for every moment we have shared throughout the program. Please continue to stay connected with us on the Post-9/11 GI Bill Facebook and by reading the GI Bill® Newsletter.
Thank you for being a part of our community.
