How do I find out if I'm eligible for training assistance?

It is imperative that you attend any informational meetings sponsored by your company and the Workforce Investment Act Dislocated Worker Program. These meetings will provide a comprehensive overview of services available to you as a dislocated worker and will connect you to the resource team responsible for allocating training funds.

While I am waiting for my dislocation to take effect, what can I do to prepare for returning to school?

If you are eligible and approved for training, you will be required to complete two tasks as a part of the process of returning to school:

1. Complete a free, short-term class called Career Awareness and Assessment. More information about this class can be found at: http://www.mstc.edu/students/careerawareness.htm
   
   
2. If approved for training assistance, you must complete the Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA). A complete program of financial resources is available to Mid-State Technical College students. By filing a FAFSA, you can identify additional funds that are available through federal, state, local and private sources in the form of loans, scholarships, grants and work study programs.
