Continuing VET TEC: High-Tech Job Training and Benefits for Veterans.
This law extends and formalizes the VET TEC program, offering eligible veterans the opportunity to enroll in short, intensive high-technology training programs (like coding or data analysis). The program provides educational assistance and a housing stipend, with a unique performance-based payment system that ensures training providers are paid fully only if graduates secure employment in the tech field. Enrollment in VET TEC uses up existing GI Bill educational entitlement.
