If you answered yes to both, you may be eligible for additional training and job placement with local companies who are hiring.

Dislocated workers may qualify for free educational training supported by the the POWER-RESOURCE FULL National Dislocated Worker Grant (NDWG) Project, the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), and the Southwest Virginia Workforce Development Board.
