A CLEAR FIRST STEP

You have questions.
Let’s talk.

You don’t have to have everything figured out. Start with a conversation about the program, your goals and what comes next.

Is the program free?

Yes. The five-week workforce program is free to participants. The CDC team will confirm eligibility, enrollment requirements and available cohort dates.

What does the schedule look like?

The current program runs Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., over five weeks. Speak with the team about the next available cohort.

Will I have support along the way?

The program combines workforce training with case management, professional development and support from the CDC team. Start with a conversation about your goals and what you need.

Does the program guarantee a job?

No. The CDC helps participants prepare and connects qualified graduates with employers. Hiring depends on readiness, employer needs and the employer’s decision.
