Need Help Paying? 

Funding is likely available to you from the city, state, and sometimes us at WELL WBC based on your qualifications. Don't let price get in the way of taking this course. Options include:

  • Your local Job Service usually offers programs and financial incentives (sometimes as much between $500-1500) to support workforce training, including entrepreneurial training. There is a map on their website to find the nearest job service (don't give up because the site is clunky, just scroll past their events calendar!). Call them and you should be good to go.
  • The state's Incumbent Worker Training grant has an annual application for businesses (LLCs and Solopreneurs count!) for $1000-2000 in financial support for certificate-based trainings (we will happily provide you a W.E.L.L. Certificate for this course).
