Veteran Technology Employment Success Act
Improving Job Tracking for Veteran Tech Training
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill changes how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) measures success for the VET TEC program, which helps veterans get training for high-tech careers like coding or data science.
- It requires the VA to track exactly how many veterans have a job 180 days after finishing their training. This ensures the government has a clearer picture of whether these expensive programs are actually helping veterans find work.
- To prevent schools from inflating their success rates, the bill stops them from counting students they hire themselves as 'successfully employed' in the official reports.
- The VA would also be required to collect feedback directly from veterans about their experiences and make all job success data available to the public so veterans can choose the best schools.
