For Veterans

Separating from the military is a big step – you’ve spent a career serving us – now let GLBBS serve you.

GLBBS has been awarded silver Level Veteran-Friendly status by the State of Michigan for a demonstrated commitment to supporting the needs of our military-connected students.

Great Lakes Boat Building School’s Career Services Representative will help you make the transition from military to civilian life.  We will connect you to the Veterans resources and benefits that are available to you, regardless of whether you have completed your service or are still actively serving our country.

GLBBS can help you make the most of the skills that you’ve acquired during your time in the service by building on them in a low-pressure, hands-on environment.

You may be eligible to receive educational benefits through one or more of the following educational programs:
