H.R. 7097 · 118th Congress
College Opportunities for Servicemembers Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

College Opportunities for Servicemembers Act
This bill authorizes the Department of Defense to conduct outreach to institutions of higher education for purposes of entering into more agreements that may provide training or internships to members of the Armed Forces under the Skillbridge program. Skillbridge provides members of the Armed Forces with opportunities to gain civilian work experience through training, apprenticeships, or internships and connects service members who are transitioning to civilian life with job experiences.
Additionally, DOD may conduct outreach and provide assistance to institutions of higher education to support the creation of centers at the institutions through which members of the Armed Forces who are eligible for Skillbridge and veterans may receive job training.
