How to apply
- 01Find your board
One board covers your county. We match it from your county name and send the number.
- 02Get 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.
- 03Ask 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.
- 04Enroll
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
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.
