JRTC helps you meet your educational and professional goals before, during, and after your time at Bates. Although JRTC’s focus is on assisting Workfirst and low-income parents, the department works to find opportunities for all students. JRTC offers support in four key areas:
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance may include tuition, books, supplies, and/or other expenses. Additionally, you may be eligible for Work Study positions, which allows you to earn additional funds while attending college.
Educational Program Placement
JRTC works to match you with career education programs that complement your unique interests and skills. JRTC reviews labor market trends, helping you choose programs that lead to employment in established and emerging fields.
Barrier Removal
Before entering a program, JRTC students meet with staff, who work alongside them to address any barriers or needs. This partnership will continue throughout the course of their enrollment.
Job Placement Assistance
Upon program completion, JRTC offers job placement assistance. By providing industry-specific job leads as well as opportunities for internships and work-experience positions, JRTC is a valuable component to your job search efforts.
