GROW Act

The GROW Act (HR 1786) requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to report annually on the Warrior Training Advancement Course (WARTAC), a program training transitioning veterans for VA jobs. These reports must detail participation rates, cost savings, and hiring outcomes for veterans completing the course. Additionally, the bill establishes a two-year pilot program under the Department of the Interior to employ veterans in conservation and resource management roles, tracking metrics like applicants hired and transitions to permanent federal positions. All findings and program results must be shared with Congress through mandatory briefings and reports.
