Do you feel you need some retraining to get better job skills and more
knowledge? If you have been determined by the One-Stop Career Center staff to
have a skill that is no longer in demand, you may receive training in new
skills.
Additionally, if you have received a permanent layoff notice, you may receive
assistance and aid in finding a new job, or possible assistance with relocation
to another area.
Talk to us and see how you might benefit from retraining, and the
schools you can attend. Scroll down to learn more about the WIA programs and WIA Facilities and Schools.

WIA PROGRAMS |
SENIOR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
Special funding is available to provide job training to seniors age 55 and
up.
ON-THE-JOB TRAINING (OJT)
Through On-the-Job Training, participants learn skills while working in entry
level jobs. Employers call our office with job orders, and participants are
referred to the job openings based on their interests and previous experience.
The length of training can last from three to six months; at the end of the
training, most participants are kept by the employer as a regular employee. OJT
employees receive the same wages and benefits as regular employees holding the
same or similar positions (benefits such as sick time, vacation pay, health
insurance coverage, etc.) Some examples of previous OJT positions include
(please note that these are examples only and may not be currently available for
training):
- Accounting clerk
- Assembler
- Auto mechanic
- Baker
- Cashier
- Maintenance worker
- Short order clerk
- Forklift driver
- Fabricator
- Receptionist
- Secretary
- Warehouse worker
- Welder
CLASSROOM TRAINING (CRT)
Through Classroom Training, participants learn job skills in a class setting.
Most of the classes are available within commuting distance through various WIA-approved
vocational colleges. Training may last from one month up to a year depending on
the skills to be learned. Paid tuition as well as books and certain supplies
will be covered up to the current maximum. At the successful completion of the
program, participants receive a certificate and job placement assistance. Some
examples of previous CRT placements follow.
Please note that the following are examples only and may not be
currently available for training:
- Secretary
- Cosmetologist
- Truck driver
- Computer technician
- Medical assistant

- Dental assistant
- Laboratory assistant
- Manicurist

SUPPORT SERVICES
Support services such as
child care, transportation
reimbursement, and needs-based payment may be available to you during job
training. Eligibility for these benefits are determined on a case-by-case basis.
Auxiliary aids to accommodate persons with a disability will be made available
upon request.
All programs and services are subject to availability of funds. Federal law
says you do not have legal or entitlement rights to WIA-funded services. The mix
and sequence of services will be planned jointly by you and your counselor.
