The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is partnering with the FAA to provide veterans with disabilities on-the-job training as air traffic controllers or technicians installing and repairing ATC equipment.

Veterans will be trained at the FAA’s Academy in Oklahoma City and will complete the same training requirements as other employees in similar positions. After successfully completing the program, they will be eligible for an FAA appointment and will enter the selection process. FAA officials expect the program will contribute significantly to the agency’s air traffic controller hiring goals and will help it attain its goal of long-term career placement for veterans.
