Course Information Sheets
Is funding guaranteed?
No - funding is pending final confirmation and eligibility as determined using the HireNet application. We encourage you to begin the process as soon as possible so you are ready for the review once funding is confirmed.
Can I take both ED 316 and ED 317 in the same summer?
Yes
There are a few circumstances where funding may be only available for one and not both, but we will be in contact if this applies to you
What is HireNet and why do I need to complete it?
HireNet is the online system used to determine eligibility for the WIOA workforce funding. Completing the HireNet application is required for funding consideration. Our Application Support Sessions can help you through this process.
If you will be paying for the course(s) yourself, you do not need to complete a HireNet application.
I am an in-service HIDOE teacher. Do I qualify?
You do qualify to take ED 316 and/or ED 317.
Qualifying for the free tuition will depend on the eligibility criteria.
