Bill > HR1884

This bill creates a pilot program administered by the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Veterans' Employment and Training to support short-term fellowship opportunities for veterans in at least three but no more than five states. Under the program, selected states will partner with non-profit organizations to develop fellowship initiatives where veterans can work with employers for a limited time (the exact number of weeks is not specified in the provided text). These fellowships will provide participants with a monthly stipend and the potential for long-term employment with the hosting employer. The program aims to help veterans gain professional experience and transition into permanent jobs. The bill authorizes $10,000,000 annually from fiscal years 2025 through 2029 to support these fellowship programs, supplementing existing funding sources. Additionally, the Comptroller General is required to submit a comprehensive report to Congressional veterans' affairs committees within four years of the program's launch, which will likely assess the effectiveness and impact of the fellowship initiative.
