The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) stood to make a huge impact for veterans impacted by the pandemic with its whooping nearly $400
The COVID-era Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program has capacity to train more than 17,000 unemployed veterans, yet less than 700 have graduated from the program and it is set to expire in December.
Congress created the Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program last year as part of the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion relief package that sought to bolster the economy as the country struggled with pandemic-related closures and layoffs. The program, known as VRRAP, offers education and training for veterans who became unemployed during the pandemic and have already used their GI Bill entitlement.
