On-the-Job Training and Apprenticeship
This program allows working veterans and their dependents to receive GI Bill benefits while learning a trade or skill via on-the-job training through their current employer, rather than attending college classes.
In addition to providing an opportunity for veterans, the program benefits employers who are able to bring a veteran on as a trainee. The trainee undergoes the employer-prescribed training program and, at the end of the training, the employer has a fully-trained journeyman employee.
Examples of on-the-job training in which veterans are eligible to receive benefits include:
- Police Officer - Highway Patrol Officer
- Jailer - Mechanic
Examples of apprenticeships include:
- Machinist - Ironworker - Electrician
- Carpenter - Plumber - Power Line Worker
