Getting funding through MI-Works for CDL school

I'm sure you can find a sample test on the internet. That will probably help you in knowing what you are in for.

 

i dont know how your getting funding i live in michigan and applied for the same program and it took about a month to fill out the paperwork and sit down in some info class for them to tell me they dont have anymore funding and didnt know when they will see more money

 

you won't have to worry about algebra or trig. You will see some fractions and some percentages, it's pretty basic. They just want to see what grade level you read at and what grade level your math is at. The test is timed and it's not to bad.

 

we live in Ohio and they have the WIA program...our county was out of funding for CDL but hubby was allowed to go to a different county in Ohio as they still had funding left for CDL..maybe that's the case with the OP, just ask if they still have funding before you get started they know if they do or don't

 

I know that some of the funding that counties have is run out. So it depends on where you are at. I got a loan years ago and paid my own way through school. Also there are companies who will put you through their own school and have you sign a contract with them for about 2 years. Check into Schider or some like that for that kind of schooling.

 

Supposedly the state gets the money some time in September each year. When I went through the WIA program a few years ago I had to keep on them. It took a few months. I went through all the tests (very elementary) and then was told they had no money at the time. This was middle of the summer. I made a hobby out of calling them an harassing them, I happened to call the day they got their funding (middle of September) and was enrolled at a local Community Collage two days latter and started the course first of October.

So... long story short... Squeaky wheel gets the grease! My WIA case worker as much as admitted this to me after the fact. So my advice to anyone who is told they have no money is to make a hobby out of calling them.
