BIG NEWS! VET TEC Funding of $45M Has Come In!!
We have some exciting news! The president signed the HR7105 Bill yesterday, the Bill that includes the VET TEC Expansion Act. This Bill expanded the funding for Veteran training from $15M to $45M. We will have classes starting as early as April!
VET TEC is an acronym for Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses. This is a program offered under the direction of the Veterans Administration that will pay for Veterans to get training in technology jobs without consuming their GI Bill® benefits. This program is an alternative to the Post-9/11 GI Bill®, with a focus on getting Veterans into flexible, in-demand, high-paying careers like, e.g., information security and software coding. As per the Department of Veterans Affairs website, Intellectual Point is listed as a VET TEC Training Provider.
