Eligibility
Students eligible for the program must meet the criteria for TANF (The Aid to Needy Families).

Course Incentives
Students enrolled in the program will be eligible to receive weekly incentives for attending the course. The incentives will be computed upon daily attendance and satisfactory completion of coursework and will be set by the course director. College credit will be given to students, and grades will be determined by instructors based on program performance. Tuition will be paid in full by the ETSS program. Participants taking the course may also qualify for Pell grants.
Course Preparation
Only 25 participants per session wil be eligible to participate in the Program. We would like the program to simulate the standards expected in the workplace; therefore, there will be strict expectations for attendance, timeliness and participation. Participants will be terminated from the program for unsatisfactory performance in any of these areas.
