<p>Are there any funds for an older unemployed worker to go back and get and get a degree in another field? I am not seeing anything on our state unemployment site. There is something for trade-like education for very low income, but nothing else.<br>
I thought I read about opportunities in the Workforce Investment Act?</p>
<p>You should check with your local community college. They are a great resource for retraining information.</p>
<p>In my state, the workforce retraining funding is all handled through our state government. They handle TAA and other federal programs, as well as state programs. The information is available through our state government’s main website.</p>
