The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many individuals in our community, throughout the state, and the world. Utah State University will provide short-term training for in-demand industries. The training can help people to change careers or advance skills. Qualifying individuals who are unemployed or underemployed because of COVID-19 and who are legal residents of Utah will have their tuition covered through funding the governor’s office has received from the federal CARES Act. “We are excited that these programs provide options to Utahns across the state who have been financially impacted by recent events,” said USU President Noelle Cockett. “We hope individuals will take advantage of this opportunity to pivot or advance their careers.” USU is offering 100% online certificate options in the following areas: cloud computing, teaching, web/mobile development and software development. Funding is only available for the fall semester so any parties that are interested should apply immediately. To learn more and get started, visit usu.edu/learnwork/.
