How do I receive training so I can start a new career?

WorkSource can fund training for some individuals in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties looking to enter a career in a growing field.

We encourage all job seekers interested in training opportunities to attend our Employment and Training Orientation. These take place twice every week on Tuesdays (virtual) at 3pm as well as Thursdays at 11:30am at our center in Kelso, WA.

These orientations are a great way to learn about the program, eligibility, participation requirements, and get connected with an Employment Specialist.

I’m ready to get started and/or want to talk more about how to get involved with WorkSource.
