Improve Your Skills!

Students graduating

The road to a new career or advancement in your current job often requires additional training and we can help.  We have a wealth of information on the skills demanded by businesses today and training courses available to teach you those skills.  We can help direct you to training opportunities and financial aid.

If your present skills are not in demand and work opportunities are not available, you may qualify for any number of sponsored training options.  Some of these include:

  • Industry specific training designed by community colleges for a group of local businesses that have good jobs available when you graduate
  • Individual training account scholarships that let you choose the training you will receive from a wide variety of training providers with proven track records

Workforce Solutions' staff can help you assess your skills and interests and determine what education or training programs would best suit your needs.
