Are you ready to increase your earning power and employability? The College Access Challenge Grant Program has an opportunity for you. The Department of Labor and Industry through its Eastern Montana Job Service Offices, is hosting several Open House Events to help guide you through the many options available to you. An Open House will be presented Wednesday, July 13 from 6-9 p.m. at the Sidney Public Library.
The College Access Challenge Grant (CACG) Program was created to foster partnerships among federal, state and local governments. The goal is to engage potential students and dislocated workers in activities that assist them to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and further access additional tuition assistance.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau individuals who do not have a high school diploma earn roughly $18,800-$23,400 per year; this increases to $39,000-$50,900 with a Bachelor’s Degree. Over a lifetime your earning potential increases by $1.3 million with a degree.
The Open House is free and everyone is welcome. Refreshments will be provided.
