Veterans - Don't miss out on this opportunity to accelerate your technical career.
The VET TEC program funding was authorized to return on October 1st, 2025 thanks to the passing of the Dole Veterans Act signed into law on 1/2/25. The new and improved version (VET TEC 2.0) is designed to better assist veterans like you transition into technical career paths.
What is VET TEC?
VET TEC (Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses) is a program from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to incentivize veterans’ trajectory into technical/cyber employment. Also, transitioning active duty service members within the last 180 days of their ETS/ESA may also utilize VET TEC.
This program provides:
- Short-term, full-time tech training (6–28 weeks)
- Monthly Housing Allowance (MHA)
- Outcome driven results
- Partial use of GI Bill® entitlement starting in 2025 (exact entitlement TBD)
How does VET TEC work?
Unlike traditional degree programs, VET TEC pays training providers in segments. 25% of the total when the veteran begins training, 25% when they finish, and 50% when they achieve gainful technical employment, which must be verified within 180 days of the successful completion of training.
VET TEC Preferred Partners, under VET TEC 1.0, had slightly different rules. An institution that elects to take on the Preferred Partner role does not collect the last 50% of total program costs if the student is unable to obtain gainful in-field employment; but they also re-pay the VA for the initial 50% received.
Training Concepts was a Preferred Provider under 1.0 and will embrace this status under VET TEC 2.0 if available. VET TEC Preferred Partners are confident in their ability to translate your training into gainful technical employment.
