Great news! The changes to the VA's 85/15 rule were just delayed and are now scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2021.

Based on what has transpired with the coronavirus in the last three months, we cannot see that it has become any safer for us to put 25 to 30 students and instructors in a single classroom. We hope that we’ll be able to get back together in-person sooner rather than later. But as we keep saying, it’s not going to happen until we believe we can keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. Read More

Read about how this program is designed to help our Seekers gain the experience as they seek their first jobs after graduation. Read More
