Daily Herald article from Memorial Day highlights Vet2Tech
Nonprofit connects veterans to industry where ‘jobs are plentiful’
Vet2Tech exists as a nonprofit scholarship program providing veterans funding to enroll in the Ignitor Labs technician training program, waiving the usual $1,495 fee. The course, which often takes between 30 and 60 days to complete, is approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Vet2Tech guarantees a job interview for anyone who completes the class and passes a final exam with a score of 70 percent or higher, Multack said.
Passing that exam gives a veteran access to Vet2Tech’s database of roughly 870 companies nationwide that are hiring technicians.
“These jobs are plentiful and always in high demand,” Multack said. “It’s a huge need. Easily, we could put 100 to 200 technicians in jobs in the Chicago area pretty quick.”
