Warriors to Workforce Act

Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.

Bill 119 hr 982 aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code in order to increase the amount of educational assistance provided by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to eligible individuals during the first year of a full-time program of apprenticeship or other on-job training. This bill seeks to provide additional support to veterans who are pursuing educational opportunities through apprenticeships or on-the-job training programs.

The current educational assistance provided to veterans by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs may not be sufficient to cover the costs associated with the first year of a full-time apprenticeship or on-the-job training program. This bill recognizes the financial challenges that veterans may face when pursuing these types of educational opportunities and seeks to address this issue by increasing the amount of assistance provided during the first year of such programs.

By increasing the educational assistance available to veterans during the first year of apprenticeships or on-the-job training programs, this bill aims to make these educational opportunities more accessible and affordable for veterans. This, in turn, may help more veterans successfully transition to civilian life and pursue fulfilling careers after their military service. Overall, Bill 119 hr 982 is a positive step towards supporting veterans in their educational and career pursuits, and it highlights the importance of providing adequate resources and assistance to those who have served our country.
