Veteran Technology Employment Success Act
This bill amends the VET-TEC high technology program for veterans to improve how employment success is measured and reported. It requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to calculate and publicly share employment rates using a specific formula: the percentage of veterans employed 180 days after program completion (excluding those hired by their training provider or affiliates). The bill also mandates reporting on full-time, part-time, and self-employment rates, and requires ongoing collection of participant feedback to evaluate and improve the program. These changes directly affect veterans enrolled in VET-TEC programs and the VA’s administration of the initiative.
