The Workforce Education Department
administers four grants — Worker Retraining,
WorkFirst, Opportunity Grant and the Food
Stamp Employment and Training Program — that
provide funding assistance towards tuition, books
and fees to traditionally underserved students.
These students include dislocated workers, public
assistance recipients and low income workers.
These grants are an effort to support students in
gaining marketable skills, which will enable their
return to the labor market and help them earn a
competitive wage. For more information, please
