Application process
To apply, complete the Career Development Customer Summary. A case manager from the team will contact you to discuss the program and outline the next steps. It’s important to note that this is not an entitlement program. As part of the application process, individuals will undergo an assessment to evaluate job readiness, financial, social and supportive needs, employment and training requirements, labor market demand, and the potential for successful program completion.
