Participation by active duty personnel at in person training requires approval through the service members’ chain of command. Once enrolled, training is in lieu of daily duty requirements while still on active duty. The training must typically be started within the final 180 days of service to take advantage of this aspect, check with your base Transition Assistance team for details. Inside Electrician training is approved for and can support SkillBridge participants.

Our pre-apprenticeship programs prepare participants to succeed in an incredible career. After completing a VEEP pre-apprenticeship, the participant receives direct entry into the apprenticeship program at their agreed upon location. Since all NECA/IBEW Apprenticeship programs are state & federally accredited, participants in the apprenticeships are eligible to collect their GI Bill benefits while working towards becoming journey-level worker in their field.
