OVERVIEW
Veterans often have a difficult time converting their military training and experience into civilian training and jobs. As a result, they often can't find jobs for which they are qualified, and when they pursue educational opportunities, they have to repeat classes that are equivalent to their military training. The Veteran Employment & Training Provider may be able to assist veterans earn civilian credentials using vocational and technical skills they learned while in the military. Why is veteran credentialing so important to the state of Montana? In addition to making the transition to civilian life a little easier for separating military veterans, credentialing makes good economic sense.
PURPOSE OF LICENSING & CERTIFICATION
The purpose of the Licensing and Certification program is to aide
separating military personnel in converting their military training and
experience to a license or certification needed for a civilian career.
We who have served should not have to be retrained for a civilian career
for which the military has already trained us and provided extensive experience.
By obtaining a civilian career license or certification, a military veteran
may attain a higher economic living standard. For more information on how
Montana Veteran’s Employment & Training Program staff may be
able to help you in gaining a civilian license or certification contact
your local Veteran's Employment Representative.
CAN MY GI BENEFITS PAY FOR MY L&C TEST?
You can receive reimbursement for licensing and certification tests you take on or after March 1, 2001. These tests must be specifically approved for the G.I. Bill. VA can pay only for the cost of the tests and not other fees connected with obtaining a license or certification.
