Refreshed 5 h ago
Introduced 2026-01-15Topic: veterans military · education · economy jobsSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), working with private employers, schools, and nonprofits, to identify industries and jobs tied to emerging technologies and the courses that can prepare veterans for them. The VA would have to feature these technologies, courses, and jobs in the military Transition Assistance Program and on its website. Within 90 days, the VA would have to set up a faster approval process for these courses under GI Bill education benefit programs. These partnership requirements would end on September 30, 2027. The bill would also expand the VA's existing high technology education program to include emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and semiconductor manufacturing.
