Management Concepts and NVTI

Management Concepts is the proud administrator of the National Veterans’ Training Institute (NVTI), a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) funded program. NVTI was established in 1986 to enhance the professional skills of veterans’ employment and training service providers throughout the United States. The Institute is the only one of its kind in the United States, providing training for 70,000+ veterans’ employment and training professionals so far.

Management Concepts operates NVTI under a competitively-awarded contract with VETS. Classes are delivered in a variety of modes, including residential weeks in Dallas, Texas, selected locations around the country, and via distance learning approaches. Attendees have access to a dedicated portal that contains course materials, discussion groups, and other related course content and references. The portal provides ongoing reference and community of practice support to participants who have completed NVTI training.

NVTI courses are designed specifically for the professionals they serve, including:

  • Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) personnel
  • Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program (DVOP) specialists
  • Local Veteran’s Employment Representative (LVER) staff
  • State Workforce Agency managers and supervisors

Attend Our Session: "What's New at NVTI?"
