Training Scholarships

Mobile Works provides tuition assistance in the form of a grant for short term training programs. We partner with area colleges and schools to get job seekers the skills to position them to compete for jobs. For example, if you want to be a nurse and can’t afford nursing school. Mobile Works could pay your tuition (must meet eligibility requirements- $12,000 maximum in tuition assistance) in hopes of you getting the skills and training to become a nurse. After completing nursing school and becoming a licensed nurse, you’re now positioned to compete for a job as a nurse. Job seekers win by getting employed. Please see the attached link to learn more about our programs contact a representative listed on the brochure (251.461.4485).
