Can I use my GI Bill for an apprenticeship?

Answer

1. Yes, if the employer's training program is approved by VA. You'd get a monthly payment for living expenses on top of your apprentice pay. Check the program in the GI Bill Comparison Tool first. You can't use it for on-the-job training while you're still on active duty.
