Veterans Educational Training(VET) is a free program of study funded by the state of North Dakota to help military veterans prepare to continue their education, whether that's a two-year or four-year college degree, or a vocational or technical training program.

We work on an open-enrollment basis, meaning you can start VET at any time, even during the summer. Since study programs are built for each individual, there's no class start date to wait for; begin any time! 

There is no college credit earned for participating in VET, and we are not an eligible GI Bill program.

We'll help you plan an individualized program to refresh your basic knowledge and ease the transition into life in higher education. This is mostly done by using free, online resources, and sometimes printed materials we have available. 

Besides tutoring, we can offer you some excellent resources on choosing a career field and a school for that can prepare you to work in that field. We can also assist with school applications, connect you with resources to access any military education benefits you might have, and assist with financial aid and scholarship applications.  Although we're not a job placement service, we can help point you to some people that are; if you have an idea what you want to do with your life, that makes finding the right school or training easier!
