Free Tuition. Free Books. No Fees.

The Worker Retraining Program provides educational and career planning to help dislocated and unemployed workers retrain in a vocational field and return to work. You may qualify for free tuition, fees and books for at least one quarter of college classes. At the same time, you may continue to receive unemployment benefits while attending one of LWTC's many academic programs.

Who may be eligible for the Worker Retraining Program?

Individuals who:

  • are unemployed and collecting Washington State Unemployment Benefits
  • have exhausted unemployment benefits in the past two years
  • are displaced homemakers
  • were self-employed and are now unemployed due to general economic conditions
  • have been honorably discharged from military service in the past two years
  • were impacted by the December 2007 floods/storms

You may also be eligible if you are currently working and meet two of the criteria below:

  • You have not earned more than 45 college credits (no degree/certificate)
  • Your job description has changed and you need new skills to avoid the possibility of a layoff in the future.
  • Your job is "not in demand".

Join us for an INFORMATION SESSION

Worker Retraining information sessions are held every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. in the West building, room W206.
