What is the Eligible Training Provider List?
The Eligible Training Provider List outlines training programs that are pre-approved for career seekers who are eligible to receive financial aid from CareerSource Capital Region.
Is My Training Program Eligible?
Your training program may be eligible if it meets the criteria listed below:
- The program(s) offered must provide training for a statewide or local targeted occupation. Review CareerSource Capital Region’s Regional Targeted Occupations List as well as the Targeted Occupations List for programs that provide training for a statewide occupation.
- The occupation’s entry wage should be greater than or equal to the region’s Lower Living Standard Income Level (LLSIL). Occupations with an entry wage lower than the region’s LLSIL may still be considered for career seekers enrolled in Welfare Transition or Young Adult programs.
- The occupation must not be in decline.
- There must be a talent supply gap that is addressed by the occupation or training.
