Office of
Veteran S
Affairs
MORE EMPLOYERS NEEDED
TO GIVE ON-THE-JOB
TRAINING TO VETERANS

Job training opportunities in the
State of Michigan are needed for
training veterans of World War II
under the G. I. Bill of Rights and
under Public Law Is. These veter-
ans can use educational benefits
earned while in service for on-the-
job training. AS it is for college
students, veterans on-the-job re-
ceive subsistence payments monthly
OF Sos for single persons, 500 to
veterans with dependents. AS the
veterans ability and wage rate in
crease to skilled status, the sub
sistence payments diminish so that
at no time does subsistence plus
wage paid the veteran exceed the
wage for a journeyman in the case
of apprenticeship, or skilled
worker in the case of non-appren-
ticeship.
To date, Governor Harry F. Kelly
has approved 600 business estab-
lishments for veteran job training.
Three hundred Of these firms were
approved in the past 80 days. Six
hundred are not enough to provide
the training opportunities return
ing veterans are demanding.
Some of the new approvals in
clude firms offering on-the-job
training in aircraft mechanics, in
business machine repair, In farm
equipment manufacture, in funeral
direction, in woodworking and
cabinet building, experiences In a
total of seventy-five different oc-
equations. Nineteen firms through
out the state have been approved
on the new list of tool and die
training or apprenticeship.
Any employer desiring approval
Of training program plan will
write to the Department of Public
Instruction, State of Michigan,
Lansing, stating that he desires to
be approved for veteran on-the-
job training, the type of business
in which he is engaged and the
specific job or jobs in which he
proposes to give training.
Disabled veterans receiving a
pension may participate in on-the-
job training programs under Pub
lie Law Is and receive the same
subsistence allowance as veterans
under Act 346 and retain their
pensions. Should the total of an
unmarried veterans pension plus
his subsistence allowance be less
than s105, his pension will be auto
matically increased to meet that
figure. Married veterans receive adj
ditional subsistence with a mini
mum of $115 ana additional sums
for children.
The Veterans Administration as
sistS the veteran in formulating a
program under Act Is and has the
responsibility of approving the
plan and the institution giving the
training. Applications for on-the-
job training for disabled veterans
should be made to the Veterans
Administration. Employers desiring
to train disabled veterans under
this plan should also advise the
Veterans Administration.
