Military Veterans

The skills, discipline and work ethic developed through military service make veterans outstanding candidates for a career in the electrical industry. The Quad City Electrical Training Center is proud to support veterans and active-duty service members as they transition into civilian careers through a registered apprenticeship program.

If you're looking for a career that offers hands-on work, strong wages, excellent benefits and long-term opportunities, a union electrical apprenticeship can help you build your next mission.

Use Your GI Bill Benefits

Qualified veterans may be eligible to receive VA education benefits while participating in a registered apprenticeship.

In many cases, eligible apprentices can receive a monthly housing allowance through the GI Bill in addition to their apprentice wages during the early years of the program. These benefits can help ease the transition into civilian employment while you build your career.

Veterans should contact the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to determine eligibility and available education benefits.

Military experience provides many of the qualities employers look for in electrical apprentices.

Veterans often bring:

• Strong leadership skills
• Dependability and accountability
• A commitment to safety
• Mechanical aptitude
• Problem-solving abilities
• Teamwork and communication skills
• A strong work ethic
• The ability to perform under pressure

These qualities help veterans excel both in the classroom and on the job.
