If you are struggling to find a job and fear you may run out of unemployment benefits before you find one, the problem might be your training. Studies show that workers with more education and training have a better chance of finding and keeping secure jobs with higher wages. Even skilled and educated workers who have enjoyed productive and lucrative careers may find that their skills are no longer required. If this is your case, you have two options: move to a place where your skills still are in demand or reinvent yourself and train for a new career which is in high demand in your area.
Great idea! I hear you say. Just one problem, college and vocational courses cost money and how will I care for my family while I am training? The Washington Employment Security Department understands these issues are a major obstacle for unemployed workers who seek to improve their chances of finding suitable employment and offers special training and education courses for eligible workers. Find below direct links to programs managed by the state of Washington, which may provide you the key to free education and a better chance of finding the job you and your family needs.
