How to apply

  1. 01
    Find your board

    One board covers your county. We match it from your county name and send the number.

  2. 02
    Get screened

    Call or walk in. Bring photo ID, proof of address, six months of income or your layoff notice, and Selective Service if you are a man under 26.

  3. 03
    Ask for an Individual Training Account

    Name the occupation, Nurse Aide, code 31-1131, and the school you want. The school must be on the state approved provider list.

  4. 04
    Enroll

    The board issues the voucher in the school's name. The school bills the board. You pay nothing.

Who qualifies
  • You are 18 or older, or 16 to 24 and not in school
  • You are authorized to work in the United States
  • One of these is true: low household income, laid off, or receiving public assistance
Areas served

Allamakee, Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Butler, Cerro Gordo, Chickasaw, Clayton, Delaware, Dubuque, Fayette, Floyd, Franklin, Grundy, Hancock, Howard, Mitchell, Winnebago, Winneshiek, Worth

Know before you go
  • The school must be on your state's Eligible Training Provider List. Many small programs are not. Ask before your appointment.
  • Boards run low on money late in the program year, April to June. Earlier is easier.
  • Counselors cannot pick a school for you. Arrive with one in mind.
