Taking the first step is the hardest part, but it is never too late to start. Information is power, so gather your employment history and ID documents ahead of time. This speeds up your meeting when you visit a Kentucky Career Center to kickstart your journey. #kygoestocollege

Thank you Cassidy!!!

You can find out more by checking out the Kentucky Career Center website and looking up your nearest location. You can also stop by a center to talk with their helpful staff, or sign up for a free "WIOA 101" info session. #kygoestocollege

[KHEAA @KHEAA]

Amazing answers so far! Question 8

#KyGoesToCollege

[Cassidy Smith @cassidykheaa]

No, you do not have to pay it back. WIOA funds function as a grant rather than a loan. As long as you remain enrolled in an approved area of study, all training, books, and fee assistance are completely free. #kygoestocollege

[Cassidy Smith @cassidykheaa]

Right now, the biggest job growth in Kentucky is in healthcare, advanced manufacturing, transportation, skilled trades, public safety, and education. Because these sectors are thriving, they offer a wide range of job opportunities statewide. #kygoestocollege

[KHEAA @KHEAA]

Well done!!!

[Cassidy Smith @cassidykheaa]

Yes, job placement is the primary focus. WIOA helps you transition from training to a career with professional resume building, interview preparation, active job searches, networking connections, and on-the-job support. #kygoestocollege

[Cassidy Smith @cassidykheaa]

WIOA handles the extra costs of going back to school. It covers required books, lab fees, tools, uniforms, and licensing exam fees. Eligible participants can also get daily support services to help pay for things like commute costs and childcare. #kygoestocollege
