Dear Prospective student,
If you have recently been laid off? If so

Work Investment ACT is a federal program
devoted to help displaced workers to obtain
skill oriented training to gain employment.
The federal government allocates certain
budget every year for each state.
The State controls the budget and has its
own regulations and procedures
which might
vary from one state to another.

the school.
President Obama has expanded the definition
of laid-off employees to include almost
everyone who has been laid-off, he has also
increased the budget for each state to
provide funding for learning new skills.
