FastForward Funding Available for New Programs at DSLCC

“FastForward”, a financial aid program that provides funding for select short-term workforce training for qualifying Virginia residents, has added a few new programs to the list at Dabney S. Lancaster Community College: Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC), Massage Therapy and NCCER Electrical – Level 1. 

Current programs available for FastForward funding are Commercial Driver’s License (CDL-A), NCCER Core Curriculum, GTAW and SMAW Welding Basics, Certified Nursing Assistant, Clinical Medial Assistant, Emergency Medical Technician, and Pharmacy Tech.

FastForward allows students to get back to work quickly, start a new career, or even expand skills by completing training and getting a credential in weeks or months rather than several semesters or years. Many students are also eligible for additional FastForward financial assistance funding that is income-based. To learn more about your options and to see if you may qualify, contact Brooke Shehan, FastForward Career Coach, at (540) 863-2848 or bshehan@dslcc.edu.

A comprehensive list of workforce training courses offered for the remainder of 2019 is available on the DSLCC website at www.dslcc.edu/workforce. Shehan will also be available during Open Registration Night on the DSLCC Main Campus on July 16 from 4-8pm.
