Contact Us to Schedule an Appointment

Call 309-268-8280 to schedule an appointment with a career planner to discuss your application and develop an Individual Employment Plan, which is a plan of action to help you reach your employment goals. The career planner will review your documentation and will determine your eligibility to receive WIOA assistance.

Supporting Documentation

In order to be accepted to the program, an individual must be found eligible (low income individual, dislocated worker, under age 25 with a barrier to employment).  A career planner may request additional documentation (i.e. paystub, written notification of layoff, high school transcript / drop out letter) as proof of your eligibility.

Basic Skills Testing

TABE testing is used to effectively assess skill and knowledge of individuals applying for the WIOA scholarship.  The intent is to ensure individuals do not require remedial education prior to attending training.  Individuals who have an associates degree or recently passed a placement test may be exempt from testing.  A career planner will contact you to schedule an appointment to test, if necessary. 
Picture

Complete the FAFSA

Complete the FAFSA and email a copy of your financial aid award letter to your career planner or livingstonworkforceservices@gmail.com.  (This is required for programs that accept financial aid (Pell/MAP), which will be applied prior to WIOA funding.  CDL and CNA programs are usually exempt from this.)

Enroll in Classes

Contact the college or trade school to enroll in classes and email a copy of your schedule / bill to your career planner or livingstonworkforceservices@gmail.com.  This can be done anytime, but is required before we can submit payment for tuition and books, even if deemed eligible for assistance.
