Management Concepts & DOL VETS

Transforming NVTI into a Robust Learning Ecosystem for Veteran Service Providers

Background

For decades, the National Veterans’ Training Institute (NVTI) has been a cornerstone in training and supporting veteran service providers nationwide. Since 2016, as the contract holder and through strategic partnership, Management Concepts and the U.S. Department of Labor Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (DOL VETS) have transformed NVTI into a dynamic, multi-modal learning ecosystem.

Our approach ensures veteran service providers have access to innovative, flexible, and comprehensive learning resources, adapting to their needs and the evolving workforce landscape. NVTI is more than just training—it is a continually improving ecosystem that prioritizes real-world impact, accessibility, and adaptability.
