The Veteran Electrical Entry Program (VEEP) is designed to offer military personnel a streamlined pathway into the electrical trade, leveraging their existing skills and discipline. This pre-apprenticeship provides comprehensive training in electrical systems, equipping veterans with the technical knowledge and hands-on experience needed to excel in a high-demand industry.

VEEP recognizes the unique challenges veterans face when reentering the civilian workforce and tailors its curriculum to accommodate their needs.

By enrolling in VEEP, veterans can build on their military experience, gain new qualifications, and embark on a fulfilling career.
