Details

Veterans participating in registered apprenticeships through the NCWorks system can continue collecting GI Bill education benefits at the same time as they are earning a paycheck from their employer. This makes apprenticeship programs more financially viable than traditional employment for veterans in transition.

Restrictions

Veterans must be enrolled in a VA-approved on-the-job training or apprenticeship program. GI Bill benefits continue alongside wages. Contact NCWorks Career Centers to find approved apprenticeship opportunities in your area.
