The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP) was designed to assist unemployed Veterans between the ages of 35 and 60 upgrade their skills for today's high-demand jobs. The VA worked with the Department of Labor (DOL) to offer training in a high-demand occupation as defined by DOL.
The VRAP Program ran from 2011 - 2014 and trained over 76,000 Veterans. After the Veterans completed their training, the DOL helped them with job placement.
