Isuzu offers veterans a 12-month paid apprenticeship leading to technician certification, open to those with 3+ years of military maintenance experience.
Apprenticeship wages count toward Social Security's retirement earnings test, but GI Bill housing allowances, VA disability pay, and military pensions do not.
Veterans under full retirement age can earn up to $24,480 in 2026 before Social Security withholds $1 for every $2 above that limit.
Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset's free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don't waste another minute; learn more here.
Picture a Navy or Army veteran in his early sixties. His last uniform came off years ago, he still knows his way around an engine, and he just saw Isuzu's apprenticeship announcement: 12 months of paid, full-time work at a participating dealership leading to technician certification. The program is open to honorably discharged veterans and reservists with at least three years of military maintenance or technical-repair experience. If he qualifies, the Post-9/11 GI Bill can layer a monthly housing allowance on top of the paycheck. It looks like a clean second act.
