Skills Enhancement Program
|
"I was a recipient of a program called the Skills Enhancement Program. I was struggling in a dead end job as a waitress making a very meager income. A friend told me about the Skills Enhancement Program that could help me further my education. This program assisted me in becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant. They paid for my training, assisted me with gas money for driving to school, and purchased the training attire that I needed. I would have never been able to do any of this on my own. I gained the confidence to continue my education to become a Registered Nurse. I no longer have to be on public assistance as my employer offers health insurance and a livable wage. It was a long road and lots of hard work. I found that the harder I worked, the more I realized what I was capable of doing. I was able to keep moving my goals up and pushing myself to achieve things that I never imagined I could. I have far exceeded my dreams."
The Skills Enhancement Program was designed and started in 1991 by CAP Services. This program serves individuals living in Outagamie, Waupaca, Waushara, and Portage counties. The Skills Program helps low income workers receive the necessary training and skills to compete for higher wage career positions. It provides financial assistance with tuition, books, and other training-related fees, as well as training-related transportation and child care. The eligibility criteria for this program include working a minimum of 20 hours per week, meeting household income guidelines and seeking training that qualifies them for a career position with an increase in income.
The Skills Enhancement Program clearly works. In 2015 the Skills Enhancement Program had 55 graduates that completed their training program and obtained career positions, increasing their income by an average of $5.65 per hour and over $14,950 annually. The average length of time in the program for these graduates was 29 months with an average of just over $3,900 in direct financial assistance provided per graduate.
