Utilize Your GI Bill Benefits

Want to make the most of your GI Bill benefits? The GI Bill can be used to supplement your income while you learn a trade through registered apprenticeship programs like the ones offered by the Insulators Union. This financial support is in addition to the salary you receive for on-the-job training.

The amount you receive will depend on factors such as the GI Bill program you qualify for, your eligibility percentage and your training level.

To find out how much you could benefit, use the U.S. Veterans Affairs’ GI Bill Comparison Tool to calculate and compare your personal benefits across apprenticeship programs.
