Guaranteed Student Retraining Policy
Chippewa Valley Technical College guarantees up to six credits or 96 hours of additional instruction at no charge to graduates of associate or technical diploma programs. To qualify for retraining, a student must meet the following conditions:
• Your employer certifies that you lack the target job competencies specified in the educational program normally expected of a job for an entry-level employee.
• You have not secured employment within six months following graduation due to
insufficient training.
• Skill retraining must be completed within 12 months of graduation.
Guaranteed retraining covers tuition, and employers or student will cover additional expenses (materials, books, lab manuals, etc.).
Retraining instruction must be in the student’s original occupational program and may include retaking of courses or participating in seminars.
CVTC graduates or employers requesting retraining should submit documentation required by the Guaranteed Student Retraining Policy to the Vice President of Student Services.
