Guard Apprenticeship Program Initiative (GAPI)

Civilian Employers and Educators have a difficult time equating military experiences, job descriptions, and Military Occupational Specialties (MOS’s) into tangible experiences and employment opportunities.

Validation of experiences Validation of experiences and training need be documented in a way that provides civilian educators and employers with a benchmark, to compare against a Soldier’s civilian counterpart.

GAPIGAPI is a vehicle to facilitate the accreditation of military training with the requirements set by the Department of Labor (DOL), the Veterans Administration (VA) Offices and Apprenticeship Sponsors/Employers. GAPI will not only enhance, educate, and address soldier employment needs but will allow them to earn National Certification on the job and earn their GI Bill funds while they learn.

MissionMission Establish the Guard Apprenticeship Program Initiative and develop national

partnerships with Department of Labor, Department of Veterans Affairs, employers and colleges who can facilitate civilian apprenticeship opportunities for ARNG and Reserve Component Soldiers
