Bill overview
This bill, the GI Internship Program Act, creates a program within the Department of Veterans Affairs to connect veterans receiving educational assistance with internships at approved employers. The program aims to provide veterans with work experience, address skills gaps, and increase their chances of long-term employment. Employers must meet specific criteria, including assurances about their practices and a commitment to retaining interns, while certain government agencies and previously non-compliant employers are excluded. The VA will pay interns the same amount they would receive for an apprenticeship, and a joint website will facilitate participation.
