Who funds them

The largest source is the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, administered locally through American Job Centers and workforce boards. Many states and counties add their own programs, and veterans and dislocated workers often have additional options.

Who typically qualifies

Eligibility is determined by your local agency, not by the school.

  • Unemployed or underemployed adults
  • Workers laid off or displaced from a previous role
  • Veterans and eligible military spouses
  • Adults changing careers into in-demand occupations

The usual steps

Contact your local workforce office, complete an intake appointment, show that the training leads to an in-demand occupation, and get approval before you enroll. Our admissions team can help you prepare the documentation.
