If you’re a Veteran who lost your job due to the COVID-19 pandemic, VA may have a solution for you. The Veteran Rapid Retraining Assistance Program (VRRAP) offers education and training for a variety of high-demand jobs so you can get back to work.
Qualifying Veterans can receive up to 12 months of tuition and fees along with a monthly housing allowance.
To be eligible for VRRAP, you must be between 22 and 66 years of age, unemployed due to COVID-19, able to work, and not eligible for education or unemployment benefits.
If you do qualify, apply soon! We’ll stop accepting new VRRAP enrollments on December 11, 2022—or when we reach either the funding or participant limit, whichever comes first.
Dr. Michael McCullar, Suicide Prevention/Mental Health Advisor, City of Johns Creek, has offered the JCVA free 1 1/2 -2 hour training courses to teach the Columbia Scale and QPR methodologies to prevent suicide. We all know veteran suicide is on the rise and we never when we might encounter a veteran, a family member, or neighbor contemplating suicide. This is the same program city employees take.
The Veteran Assistance Committee members intend to take advantage of this offer and would encourage any interested JCVA member who would like to participate to email and provide their name, phone, and email address.
Dates and times of training sessions need to be scheduled and will be promulgated in due course.
