FINANCIAL TRANSITION: helps individuals focus on the personal financial impact of a layoff or retirement offer decision.

TEST TAKING SKILLS: is designed to help individuals prepare for a variety of qualifying exams required for employment. Since many jobs in the telecommunications field and public employment require qualifying tests, this training focuses on general testing skills and can be customized to cover specific qualifying tests (courses for tests for a range of telecommunications jobs are currently available).

The Alliance also has the experience to work with companies and unions to link public sector resources to our transition programs, including potential grant funding.
