    Government is reminding residents of a program that provides funding for training. The Working Opportunities Program is accepting candidates who are interested in beginning studies this September. The program provides financial support for non-EI eligible individuals, including those receiving Income Support, to pursue full-time post-secondary training in Newfoundland and Labrador. It offers supports that may include tuition and training costs, a living allowance and child care. Eligible training must be between 12 weeks and three years in length at a public or private training institution in NL.
