Finally, after 1 year of sitting around doing nothing, I get a job. That means I have money to spend on toys. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Here in Arizona it is done by the counties so I assume that's the way the Feds set it up. We have a thing for Coconino County called the Coconino Career Center, but down in Phoenix (Maricopa County) they have their own name for it. I'm sure that if you call your county government and ask about WIA by name they'll be able to put you in touch with the right folks.

A couple of years ago by brother-in-law got laid off and he qualified for a different program that was for folks where the job went away because the company was shipping jobs to other countries. I don't remember the name of the program, but they paid for 2 years of college so he could get his degree. It will be worth asking about. It was also a federal program.
