Improving Emerging Tech Opportunities for Veterans Act of 2026

This bill would expand the Department of Veterans Affairs high technology education program so it also covers emerging technology programs, and the program's criteria would identify which technologies, such as artificial intelligence and semiconductor manufacturing, count as emerging technologies. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs would work with employers, schools, and nonprofit organizations to identify industries and jobs likely to grow because of emerging technologies, along with courses that prepare veterans for those jobs. The Departments of Veterans Affairs, Defense, and Labor would promote this information in their transition services, and the VA and Defense Department would post it on their websites. The list of industries and jobs would be updated every three months, and this partnership section would end on September 30, 2027.
