VA is celebrating National Apprenticeship Week by highlighting the value of On-the-Job Training (OJT) and Apprenticeships.

Eligible Veterans, service members, and dependents can use their GI Bill® benefits while training in approved training programs. Participants gain hands-on experience, build in-demand skills, and may receive monthly housing support while working toward long-term career success.

Whether you're starting a new career, transitioning from military service or growing in the skilled trades, VA benefits can help you take the next step.
