  • LCEWD Training Interest Form

    Form Revised 8.14.26

  • Thank you for your interest in training services at Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development (LCEWD). 

    Please be sure you are registered in Connecting Colorado in order for us to process your Training Interest Form. Please list the email address associated with your Connecting Colorado to ensure efficient processing. 

    Our programs are intended to move people forward towards training and traditional employment as quickly as possible. Because of this, we review specific training interests when considering program referrals and ask that individuals identify 1-3 related interests. 

    If you are unsure of your career and training interests, and/or you are primarily interested in general job search assistance (resume review, interview prep, etc.) please review career exploration resources on our website: https://www.larimer.gov/ewd/job-seekers/career-exploration, or contact our job seeker services team to schedule an appointment with a Career Consultant at 970-498-6600. You may submit this form after you have identified a specific training interest.

    If you have chosen a specific occupation and identified a credential for training, please complete the following questions to help us determine potential eligibility for training funds and other services. Once your interest form has been received, you will be contacted by email from a staff member. We will aim to contact you within 10 business days. Depending on the volume of requests, it may take additional days for a response.

    Your responses will help us assess the services that best match your needs. This form is not a formal application for our federally funded programs, but allows us to determine if a referral would be available. Eligibility for funding is not a guarantee. 

    IMPORTANT:

    Please note that due to Labor Market Information in Larimer County, local policy, and federal reporting standards, we are not able to provide scholarship funds for:

    Bachelor's Degrees, Master's Degrees, Graduate Certificates, nor credentials towards certain occupations such as Esthetician, Cosmetology, Barbering, Massage Therapy, Real Estate, Pilot, Life Coach, Paralegal, and Home Inspection. IT related careers will only be considered if an individual has previous IT experience. Certified Addictions Technician (CAT) training will only be considered if there is an employer already committed to providing supervision hours. There may be other occupations that we will not support, which will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. 

    If the training requires pre-requisites to be completed before applying and being formally accepted into the program, we cannot assist until all prerequisites are completed and you have been formally accepted into the program.

    Our local programs focus on traditional employment goals and will not support self employment.

    If determined eligible for our programs, we recommend engaging in services 2-3 months before training to allow time for orientation, eligibility determination, program enrollment, and scholarship review/approval. We cannot provide reimbursements, nor payments for training that has already started.

    You may contact us at LCEWD-training@larimer.org if you have additional questions or concerns about your training interests.
