West Point classmates, now members of Congress, push bill to help veterans get into apprenticeship programs

Reps. John James and Pat Ryan are introducing a bipartisan bill aimed at helping veterans get into pre-apprenticeship programs as a stepping stone to good jobs.
"What this bill does is, it helps on the very ground level to help with housing, to help with tuition, to make it more affordable for veterans to have a smooth dovetail into apprenticeship programs," James said in an interview with Fox News. Tyler Olson is a Capitol Hill Producer for Fox News in Washington, D.C.
"This expands the options for vets who may say, I don't need to go to college," Ryan added. "This lets them use the benefits they've earned to do that."
