Create a Veterans Education Benefit that supports the education costs of Canadian Forces Veterans after completion of service.

What success looks like

More Veterans receive education and training upon release and are given the means to achieve their education and post-service employment goals.

Government's narrative on progress

The government implemented the new Education and Training Benefit, effective April 2018. This benefit provides Veterans with up to $40,000 for college, university or technical education if they have a total of at least six years of service in the Regular or Reserve Force and were honourably released on or after April 1, 2006. Veterans with at least 12 years of service can receive up to $80,000. This will help Veterans cover the cost of getting a new degree or certificate, which is often critical in making a successful transition to post-service life.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
