In today's tough economy, a layoff can lead to more education -- and oftentimes it can be 100% covered. Individuals that are unemployed can turn to vocational rehabilitation to get training in today's high-demand fields and have it covered by their state. This little-known-fact can enable workers to go back to school, get re-trained and return to work all in a matter of months.
This benefit may go largely unnoticed -- many unemployed workers are struggling to re-join the workforce and may not know that they have funds available to them. Vocational rehabilitation can provide up to $10,000 in career training benefits. With over 5 million jobs lost to date, training for a new career may not be a bad idea. Receiving valuable skills can translate into a solid and dependable career -- and long-term opportunity.
With millions of laid-off workers across the nation, many people are being faced with difficult decisions about their future -- Do they switch career fields? Do they return to school? Do they pay expensive tuition costs? Career training is readily available at voc rehab schools nationwide providing an opportunity to get new skills and pay nothing out of pocket. And these programs can be as short as six weeks.
Vocational rehabilitation is not just for people with disabilities, injured workers or disabled veterans due to service-related injuries -- it covers unemployed too. Pursuing a new career can be an easy call for people whose old jobs have disappeared, forcing them to re-evaluate their career plans. A second career can open doors that would usually not be available to them -- and provide opportunities beyond their normal job search.
Most services, including enrolling in a vocational rehabilitation school, will be provided to unemployed workers through the "One-Stop" system -- training, education and employment services available in one convenient location -- where eligible people use their individual training accounts to determine the training program and provider that best fits their needs. Individuals should contact a "One-Stop" career center or vocational rehabilitation school for assistance with the type and amount of their benefits. From their layoff to the classroom, it's the quickest way to prepare for a new career.
