This bill aims to improve the transparency and effectiveness of the VET TEC high technology program by refining how the Department of Veterans Affairs calculates and reports veteran employment rates. It mandates that the employment rate data, previously reported only to Congress, also be made publicly available . The legislation establishes a precise calculation method, defining the employment rate as the number of individuals employed 180 days after program completion, excluding those employed by the program provider or an affiliate as an instructor. Furthermore, it requires the Secretary to report rates for full-time, part-time, and self-employment where practicable. To ensure ongoing program improvement, the bill also directs the Secretary to continuously solicit, collect, and analyze feedback from VET TEC participants and the GI Bill School Feedback Tool.
