AI Summary
This bill, the Veterans Fellowship Act, directs the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training to carry out a pilot program where states can use grant or contract funds to establish short-term fellowship programs. The program will allow veterans to participate as fellows with employers for a period not exceeding 12 weeks, receive a monthly stipend during this time, and have the opportunity to be hired for a long-term position at the end of the fellowship.
