ACI Learning Proudly Expands VET TEC 2.0 Training Across Dallas, San Antonio, Colorado Springs
Veterans in Three Major Metro Areas Can Now Access Short‑Term Tech Training Through VA Funding — Even with Little or no GI Bill® Benefits Remaining
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ACI Learning Tech Academy, a veteran‑focused provider of technology education, announced today the rollout of its VET TEC 2.0 program to three additional metropolitan hubs: Dallas, Texas; San Antonio, Texas; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. The expansion gives former service members who have exhausted or possess minimal GI Bill® entitlements a new pathway to acquire in‑demand IT skills through short‑term, VA‑funded courses.
**Key Developments**
The VET TEC 2.0 initiative builds on the original Veteran Employment Through Technology Education Courses pilot, which proved successful in placing graduates into roles such as cybersecurity analyst, cloud administrator, and software developer. By extending the program to Dallas, San Antonio, and Colorado Springs, ACI Learning aims to reach roughly 1,200 additional veterans over the next 18 months. Each location will host hybrid classrooms that combine live‑online instruction with optional in‑person labs, allowing participants to balance training with work or family commitments. Courses range from eight to sixteen weeks and cover certifications recognized by CompTIA, Cisco, and (ISC)². Enrollment is open to any veteran with an honorable discharge, regardless of remaining GI Bill® benefits, as the VA covers tuition, fees, and a stipend for eligible participants.
