The Economically Disadvantaged Adult program provides a number of activities to break the cycle of poverty by investing in the education and work skills of participants ages 22 and above. We can pay tuition and fees for eligible individuals to attend training. Financial assistance may also be included for child care and transportation. Assessment and case management services are provided to all participants. These services keep participants apprised of their occupational options and other training opportunities such as those offered at post-secondary institutions.
Services consist of job search activities, job readiness classes, and job search assistance.
The purpose of the Choices program is to assure that needy families with children receive the education, training, and employment that will help avoid long-term welfare dependence. In addition, supportive services, including transitional child care and medical assistance may be offered.
