DOL VETS Program Connects Veterans With Apprenticeship Programs

October 20, 2020

Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Labor Veterans’ Employment and Training Service announced an Apprenticeship Pilot Program that will identify, track and increase the number of transitioning service members and their spouses hired into registered apprenticeship programs prior to separation from the military. Transitioning service members are well-suited to pursue a rewarding career pathway through these programs, which will allow them to adapt the technical skills they learned while in the military to the needs of the civilian workplace.

The pilot will run from 2020 through early 2021 and will take place at eight military installations across the United States that were chosen in collaboration with the Department of Defense. Since only eight bases have been identified for the pilot program, transitioning service members and their families will likely desire to travel from their current duty station to other states. This is an excellent opportunity to engage your member companies and connect transitioning service members to employment and education opportunities.
