Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our programs and funding.

How do I know if I qualify for WIOA funding?
If you are unemployed, underemployed, receive public assistance (SNAP, Medicaid), are a veteran, or lack a high school diploma, you may qualify. The best way to find out is to complete our free eligibility check or visit your local WorkOne center.
How long do the training programs take?
Program length varies. Short courses (CPR, OSHA) can be completed in 1-2 days. Healthcare programs like CNA typically take 4-8 weeks. Apprenticeships in barbering or cosmetology take 1-2 years since you earn while you learn.
Are the programs really free?
Many participants qualify for WIOA funding that covers 100% of tuition. Others receive employer sponsorship or state grants. We help you explore all funding options at no cost.
What is a DOL-registered apprenticeship?
A DOL-registered apprenticeship is a federal program that combines paid on-the-job training with classroom instruction. Apprentices earn wages while learning and receive an industry-recognized credential upon completion.
Can I work while in the program?
Yes! For apprenticeships, you earn wages from day one at your host shop. For other programs, many offer evening and weekend schedules to accommodate work.
What support do you provide after graduation?
We offer career coaching, job placement assistance, and employer connections. Our goal is employment outcomes, not just program completion.
