Two federal programs turn veteran hiring into a funded pipeline — one pays your company directly, the other pays the veteran. Most companies never set either one up.
SEI pays your company directly. The GI Bill pays the veteran a stipend so you can offer a training wage that works. Here is how the money actually moves.
The result: if you hire through VR&E, SEI can pay your company up to 50% of the veteran’s salary for the first six months. On the GI Bill OJT route, the veteran collects a tax-free housing stipend on top of their wage — which is what lets you pay a progressive training wage they can afford. The money is already appropriated. Most companies just never set it up.
Federal funding optimization and veteran talent sourcing. Not a staffing agency — the veteran-hiring piece of your talent strategy.
This is the veteran-hiring piece of your talent strategy, run for you. I set up the program, handle the VA side as your Certifying Official, and source candidates through veteran networks most hiring teams can’t reach.
SEI can pay up to 50% of salary for six months on a VR&E hire; the GI Bill stipend structure lets you fund a progressive training wage on the OJT route. Value depends on route, role, and duration.
