Worried about the cost? "I can't afford it! I'll just do it on my own."
We've heard this before. And unless you're a seasoned job seeker, who already has these skills, you can't afford NOT to do it. If we save you as little as 30 days of searching, you will have paid for the class numerous times over. That's thousands of dollars in savings.
If you are currently receiving unemployment, participants in the past have qualified for financial assistance; you may too. Contact your Workforce Oregon office for details.
