Shift Network

What if the government would help pay for you to learn a skill that could increase your income?A lot of people know about college financial aid, but far fewer know about workforce programs that can help eligible people pay for career training.On the first official episode of SHIFT NETWORK, Tim breaks down programs like WIOA and explains how to find workforce-training opportunities in your own area.And this isn't just something he read about online — Tim received assistance for his CDL training, while his wife received assistance for phlebotomy training.From CDL and healthcare training to other in-demand career paths, the opportunities available depend on your location, eligibility, available funding, and approved programs.We break down where to start, what questions to ask, how to choose a skill that can actually increase your earning potential, and why thousands of people may be overlooking resources available in their own communities.Today's episode is sponsored by MYLIFESTYLE SMOOTHIE and EMPRESS KITCHEN in Conyers, Georgia.Know somebody trying to change careers or increase their income?
