Triton College received a $1 million Workforce Equity Initiative (WEI) Grant for the second year from the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) to provide no-cost job training to in-district residents. The grant allows residents to enroll at Triton to receive a tuition-free, industry-recognized certificate. Qualified prospective students can apply to one of 13 pre-selected career-focused certificate programs, most of which can be completed in a year. The programs prepare students for in-demand and high-skill professional job roles. As a WEI Grant Program participant, students will receive application and enrollment guidance, admission support services, an assigned completion and transition specialist (CTS), resume-writing support and career counseling. Triton will use the grant to cover the cost of tuition, fees, books and supplies for qualified students.  Residents, current and prospective students, employers or community leaders interested in learning more about how the Workforce Equity Initiative Grant can provide no-cost training should call (708) 456-0300, Ext. 3016, or wei@triton.edu for more information.
