Unemployed and Looking for New Horizons?
The Unemployment rate of South Florida is 4.9% according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States.
Being unemployed can open opportunities for training in a new arena thanks to a federal program of Career Source Broward, which offers funding for education.
One of the requirements to receive Career Source Broward funds for education is that the students must qualify to receive Pell Grants, which are available according to the financial need of the student’s household.
Prospective students must be (1) US citizens or residents and (2) must have a high school diploma or a GED, which is equivalent to the high school diploma.
Also, Career Source Broward has a special program that funds the education of young students between the ages of 16 and 21 and who are currently unemployed.
The Financial Aid office of United International College guides the students interested in applying to receive these federal grants to fill out the FAFSA application.
United International College (UIC) was founded 15 years ago in Davie, FL by the same founders of Unilatina in Bogota, Colombia. UIC is the first university of Colombian origin that received accreditation in the United States. Recently, UIC signed an agreement with Career Source Broward to offer its associate programs in Business Administration and International Business Management for applications that are currently unemployed and looking for new career ventures.
These are the steps to follow to receive federal funds and enroll in an academic program:
- Contact your nearest office of Career Source Broward for a Success Coach to help you qualify for the training program. www.careersourcebroward.com
