Abstract	The federal government helps veterans pursue skills needed in the civilian workforce. Veterans Affairs (VA) created Veterans Employment Through Technology Education Courses (VET TEC) to support veterans who enroll in high-technology education programs through VA-approved training providers. The act includes a provision for the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess VET TEC. This report examines the (1) demographic characteristics of participants; (2) employment outcomes of participants; (3) benefits and implementation challenges reported by training providers; and (4) steps VA has taken to improve the VET TEC program. GAO analyzed data on VET TEC participants and reviewed relevant VA documents, federal laws, and regulations. GAO interviewed VA officials and a nongeneralizable sample of approved training providers selected for variation in the number of veterans served and locations. GAO also compared VA's efforts to leading practices for effective pilot design. (ERIC).
