VET TEC Program Update

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs announced on August 3, 2023, that the VET TEC program is funded for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 (October 1, 2023 – September 30, 2024) with a budget of $45,000,000. This means that Veterans and Servicemembers enrolled in a VET TEC program can complete their training and find meaningful employment through FY 2024.

However, the VA will no longer accept new applications after April 1, 2024. Those considering applying for Veteran tech training programs are encouraged to take advantage of this funding before it depletes.

Code Platoon is an approved VET TEC training provider. A full list of approved training providers can be found on the VET TEC Training Providers website. Veterans are encouraged to check this list routinely to ensure they have the most up-to-date information regarding approved training providers.

The VET TEC Authorization Act of 2023, nicknamed “Forever VET TEC,” has been introduced to allocate permanent funding for Veteran tech education, but no legislation has been passed at this time. The VA urges prospective students to stay informed by regularly checking the Veterans Technology Education Courses website for updates.
