LCEWD Training Interest Form

Form Revised 11.4.2025
Thank you for your interest in training services at Larimer County Economic and Workforce Development (LCEWD).

LCEWD offers a wide variety of programs and services to help job seekers connect to resources.

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.

If you are primarily interested in job search assistance (resume review, interview prep, etc.) or are unsure of your career and training interests, please contact our job seeker services team to schedule an appointment with a Career Consultant at 970-498-6600.

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.

While your responses will help us assess and connect you to the services that best match your needs, eligibility for funding is not a guarantee. We will do our best to connect you to available services that meet your needs.

Please note that due to low Labor Market Information in Larimer County, we are no longer able to provide scholarship funds for Master's Degrees, nor credentials towards Esthetician, Cosmetology, Massage Therapy, or Real Estate.

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