Note, ONLC cannot hold a seat or register a student if the SF-182 is missing details or approval signatures. Additionally, receipt of a SF-182 form by ONLC does not guarantee a seat in a class.

Workforce

For people thinking about changing their career or updating their skillsets or for those that are unemployed, you may be eligible to receive financial assistance from your local Department of Labor/Workforce Office. Workforce programs throughout the country may provide grants and other funding to offset the cost of training.

Workforce programs are generally county by county. Each agency has their own set of steps to an approval process. You must first contact your local workforce office to see if you qualify for assistance. Search the Internet for your Local Workforce Development Board that serves your county.

ONLC Training is authorized by many State Eligible Training Provider Lists (ETPL) and approved to accept Workforce funding from many States/Counties. Once you are approved for funding by your local workforce, they will give you access to a list of Eligible Training Providers. If you do not see Online Consulting dba ONLC Training Centers on the list please contact us so we can reach out to the agency on your behalf to investigate the process for approval.

ONLC has CareerPath Certification Programs available plus you can contact an ONLC Education Advisor at 1-800-288-8221 (weekdays) to discuss training.

WIOA

The Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 mandates states to maintain a list of training providers approved to provide training to individuals who are eligible to receive federal funds. The Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) is comprised of approved training providers and training programs approved by the Local Workforce Development Areas (LWDAs) and the State to provide training services to eligible WIOA participants. The State Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) and the related eligibility procedures ensure the accountability, quality and labor-market relevance of programs of training services provided to eligible WIOA participants.

If you have received WIOA funding, see our CareerPath Certification Programs and contact an ONLC Advisor at 1-800-288-8221 (weekdays) to discuss training.

TAA

The federal TAA program includes job training and benefits. To receive TAA benefits, you must have lost a job covered by a trade certification issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

ONLC has re-trained many TAA students over the years and welcomes you. Please contact an ONLC Advisor at 1-800-288-8221 (weekdays).

Voc Rehab Benefits

Vocational Rehabilitation benefits include a host of services, including assistance with a new job search, occupational counseling, vocational retraining, and training sessions at a learning institution. The purpose is to help the injured worker get back to working and earning again. To qualify for federally funded vocational rehabilitation, you must: have a physical or mental condition that causes a "substantial impediment" to your ability to work, and. be able to benefit from VR services so that you can get a job.

ONLC has worked with many Voc Rehab offices to provide training. Each office has their own set of rules and regulations that they must follow in approving a vendor, so candidates need to check with their case manager to see if ONLC can help with your training needs.

You work hands-on with the software—these are NOT demonstration courses. When purchased, you'll have 24/7 access to your online course for a set period of months. Details can vary by title, so course specifics are listed in the course outline.
