Displaced Workers: Back to Work
Has COVID-19 impacted your employment? Are you thinking of starting or continuing college? The Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) funded six colleges across the state to support workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and provide participants support in accessing and completing their credential or degree.
Participants will receive support in such areas as enrollment, financial aid and scholarships, 1:1 support to ensure progression toward credential/degree completion, and connection and transition to the workforce. Eligible participants must meet the following criteria: displaced worker due to the COVID-19 pandemic and complete a credential/degree by June 2022. The colleges may have additional participation criteria; please contact the program contact directly for information.
Are you ready to get started? Please reach out to the program contact at the college you are interested in attending for information and program requirements.
