Free Training With A Federal Grant (Your Future Self Thanks You)

Starting a new career can change your life. The healthcare and information technology (IT) fields are both in high demand and pay well. However, job training programs can be expensive. Luckily, federal grants exist to help people who need financial help get free training to begin a new career.

American Job Centers were created as part of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). These centers provide many services to job-seekers, including information about federal workforce grants that can help you train for a new career for free.

Apply for a Workforce Grant

There are several different types of workforce grants. You can find out if you might be eligible for one by answering a few questions on the Benefits.gov website. If you'd like a more personal touch, reach out to a MedCerts admission advisor. They have a lot of experience working with students using workforce grants to fund their job training programs.

You may be eligible for a workforce grant if you're unemployed or not making enough at your current job. Different programs have different requirements, so make sure you understand the application process. Your admission advisor or American Job Center can help guide you through the process.

Choose Your Area of Interest

Before you decide on a job training program, think about what subjects interest you and what type of job you'd like to have. Working in IT might be a great choice if you enjoy computers and electronics. Whether you're interested in repairing PCs or working in cybersecurity, IT jobs pay well and are always in demand, even during hard economic times. If you're more interested in working with people than computers, you may want to consider a healthcare career. MedCerts has healthcare training programs where you can get certified to interact with patients, perform hands-on procedures, and start a career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the US.

Decide on a Training Program

Once you decide what fields interest you, start searching for a training program that accepts your workforce funding grant.

Make sure the training program you choose has a strong student support component. Student services, such as an admissions advisor, a career coach, and student success advisors, can make a tremendous difference in your educational experience and your ability to find a good job when you graduate.
