VA program to help thousands of veterans learn new career after being unemployed due to COVID-19 pandemic By Megan Ziegler A new Veterans Affairs program has been set up to help veterans who are unemployed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program provides some free education and training for eligible veterans to learn a new career.  If approved for the program, up to 12 months of tuition and fees will be covered for courses that lead to one of the hundreds of preapproved jobs that are considered high demand. A monthly housing allowance would also be included.

(Wilfredo Lee/AP) Thousands of veterans who lost their jobs because of COVID-related challenges can now apply to be part of a new rapid retraining program designed to prepare them for new careers in high-demand specialties. The benefit, which is open to about 17,000 veterans, is targeted at those who have already exhausted other job-training opportunities but still find themselves without stable employment because of coronavirus closures, layoffs or health complications. The program was included in the last coronavirus relief package approved by Congress. The measure was signed into law on March 11, but applications to the new Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program were delayed until May 3, as Veterans Affairs officials worked to stand up the program.
