Adult Program:

To be eligible under the Adult program, individuals must be over 18, have the legal right to work in the United States, be registered for the selective service (male only) and meet income guidelines of 70% of the Lower Living Standard Income Level by Family Size.

Dislocated Worker Program:

Dislocated workers are those workers who have lost their jobs through layoffs or plant closings and are eligible for unemployment benefits. Individuals who were self-employed, but are unemployed as a result of general economic conditions in the community or because of natural disasters are also eligible. Displaced homemakers can also be served through the Dislocated Worker Program.

Dislocated workers with some training or experience in Information Technology or Bio-technology may be able to receive training services through the MetroTech program.
