Non-Registered Apprenticeship Program
Eligible veterans have the choice to sign up for our Non-Registered Apprenticeship Program.
This program will be offered for all entry positions focused on either our Import or Export Departments.
This is just another way that we can provide additional benefits for our Veterans in the community. Below is a breakdown of not only how the benefits are structured, but also who would qualify as an eligible participant.
Available Benefits
Although the participation requirements are the same for all GI Bill® programs, the payment amount varies depending on the program.
Post-9/11 GI Bill recipients.
You will receive 100 percent of your applicable MHA during the first six months of training in these increments:
80 percent of your applicable MHA during the second six months of training
60 percent of your applicable MHA during the third six months of training
40 percent of your applicable MHA during the fourth six months of training
20 percent of your applicable MHA during the remainder of the training
Post-9/11 GI Bill recipients will also receive up to $83 per month for books and supplies.
All other GI Bill programs.
75 percent of the full-time GI Bill rate for the first six months of training
55 percent of the full-time GI Bill rate for the second six months of training
35 percent of the full-time GI Bill rate for the remainder of the training program
All calculations are ultimately based on the Veteran’s remaining benefits.
