Career Forward

Advancing career opportunities through education

Have you recently lost your job due to COVID-19? Are you thinking that it might be time for a new career? Are you looking for education and training that can help you get hired in one of Colorado’s top industries? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average number of jobs that an individual will hold between the ages of 18 and 48 is 11. With those changes usually comes some type of training and development to get that new job or start a new career. Our institution / organization is proud to partner with the Colorado Department of Higher Education’s COSI program to help you find a job through the new Back to Work grant. Learn more.
