Re-training

So being laid off can work to your advantage. Get schooled, get better job next time. Your government will even help. Thats right, they will help. It is a pain in the ass to get on the program but thats to be expected.

The WIA program, which is run by Job Leaders program, which is run by Family and Job Services can get you some schooling to upgrade your skill set to be able to make a livable wage. Which they define as $14.72/hr.

As wages sink in the current economy, a few classes or a new certification can really make a difference. Upgrade your certs, finish off that degree.

The hoops you have to jump through change it seems by the week. So you have to ask at your unemployment office about the program.

In C-bus the place to go is 1111 E Broad st. Be prepared for a mound of paperwork!
