- Student Registered, but does not show up for class: If a student registers for the class through the district, they are responsible to attend the class. If the student does not show up for any of the classes no funds will be dispersed through Advanced Opportunities. The student will be eligible to take other courses for funding.
- Students attends class and either withdraws or fails the class: Students are not required to pay back course fees if they have failed or withdrawn from a class. However, in order to be eligible for additional Advanced Opportunities funding, they must:

Although CEI’s workforce training courses are ineligible for most federal forms of financial aid, many are eligible for local and state-run financial assistance programs. Please click on the dropdowns below for more information on available sources of financial assistance for WTCE programs.
Idaho Launch
This is the most common source of financial assistance utilized by WTCE students. This state-run program was developed with the intent of strengthening Idaho’s workforce by providing financial assistance for those seeking to enter in-demand fields. For adult participants, Idaho Launch covers 80% of the tuition cost for approved workforce training programs (up to $3,500.00). While the student is responsible for the remaining 20% of their tuition, this significantly reduces the out-of-pocket cost for eligible students. Please see the Idaho Launch website for more information.
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
This federally funded program is operated in partnership between the Idaho Workforce Development Council and Equus Workforce Solutions. It is intended to provide resources for adults and dislocated workers who are seeking to reenter the workforce or gain new workplace skills.
Employer Sponsorships
If you are currently employed and believe participating in one of our workforce training courses will strengthen your skill set, you may be able to work with your employer to sponsor your course. For more information on employer sponsorships, click here.
High School Students
Current high school students may be able to utilize their Advanced Opportunities funding to cover the cost of tuition for workforce training programs while they are still enrolled in high school. Students may also be eligible for up to $8,000.00 in financial assistance through Idaho Launch. Idaho Launch funds cover 80% of tuition for eligible programs but are not available to students until after they have graduated high school. Students should meet with their high school counselor to discuss their options.

We are proud to offer several annual scholarships for apprenticeship students. Scholarship applications are open from June 1st through August 1st. Please see the Scholarships tab on this page for more information.
