Worker Retraining

This funding program is specifically for unemployed or under-employed dislocated (laid off) workers, displaced homemakers, transitioning and military veterans, and the formerly self-employed whose qualifying event* took place within the previous 48months from the time of application for the program. The program is designed to help students overcome financial barriers while they pursue an education. The program is voluntary and allows participants to obtain assistance with education related expenses. Worker Retraining is designed to fill the gaps that FAFSA-based financial aid does not cover. The college will check a student’s financial aid account before proceeding with a request for assistance. More information: 253.680.7127 or retraining@batestech.edu.
