Military Resources

NFI is registered and partnered with the Department of Labor (DOL) Apprenticeship Program and has SAA approval that allows military veterans, reservists, and guardsmen to use their GI Bill®* benefits. These benefits could allow you to earn an additional monthly stipend to supplement your income while enrolled in an NFI apprenticeship program. This includes both driver positions and maintenance technician positions.

Contact our Military Resource Team today, and we will walk you through how to determine your eligibility and assist you with your enrollment.

The DOD Skillbridge program is designed for military service members who are in their last 180 days of military service, transitioning out, and preparing to re-enter civilian life with the goal of entering the civilian workforce.

JoAnn Y., Driver and Air Force Veteran 

“I wanted to reinvent myself, and I did so by going out and getting my CDL license and now I’m a truck driver. I love it. I absolutely love it because I apply all the things that I learned in the Air Force. Structure. Discipline. Punctuality. I have carried that over to this job.”

Baseemah S., Executive Assistant & Air Force Veteran

“I selected NFI for my Hiring Our Heroes fellowship and accepted a permanent position. NFI’s values closely align with those of the military, as they prioritize taking care of their people. I strive to use my military experience and align my work with these values by fulfilling our overall commitment to cultivating an inclusive culture and serving as our ERG coordinator.”

David P., Director of Driver Recruiting & Marine Corps. Veteran
