More than 4,000 veterans have taken advantage of a VA program providing job retaining skills to those put out of work by the COVID-19 pandemic, but eligible participants have only a few more months to sign up.
The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) is open to veterans who are:
At least 22 years old, but not age 67 or older.
Unemployed because of the pandemic.
Ineligible for GI Bill or Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E) benefits.
Not enrolled in a federal or state job program.
Not receiving VA disability compensation because of an inability to work, or receiving unemployment compensation (including enhanced benefits) under the CARES Act.

Yeah, who thought schooling was the surefire answer to a job? If I didn’t have my degrees I could get a small job, but no one pays MBAs under the table, and the time I spent there I could have learned a trade instead.
