Wyoming Works

Wyoming Works provides programs and resources for adult students to learn a skill and secure employment. The program makes available individual grants for students enrolling in approved programs at a Wyoming community college.

The non-credit programs were approved by the Wyoming Community College Commission at their October meeting. Please take a look and pass the information along far and wide!

This brochure was developed in partnership with the Wyoming EXCELS committee within the Wyoming Business Alliance, the Wyoming Community College Commission, and WACCT.

Wyoming innovative partnership
