Discussion Questions & Considerations

  • What would you do if you could start your dream job tomorrow?
  • How much time are you willing to commit to improve your future?
  • Do you meet the minimum requirements? If you have less than a high school equivalency degree, you may need to complete remediation training before entering training. Some programs require a credential before entering the training program.
  • See how the program is offered. Does it include work experience? If so, when? Is the training offered in two locations? For example, is classroom training at one location and worksite training at a different location?
  • Be honest about your background. If a background check is required, it will be checked out. The same is true for medical and drug tests.
