What’s Holding You Back?
“I can’t afford it.”
We can help!
Getting certified, or trained, can seem very expensive—especially if you aren’t aware of the many resources available. Please don’t let financial challenges hold you back from improving your life! We have a variety of scholarships and grants made specifically to help people like you. Our experts will help you figure out which funding sources are the most promising based on your needs, and get you started on the application process.
Most students will be able to receive workforce (noncredit) training certifications at little or no cost!
“I don’t have time.”
We’re flexible!
Changing your career, or starting anew, can feel overwhelming. While it does take time to complete a certification or training, we offer multiple start dates throughout the year—and most of the programs listed in this catalog are completed in less than one year. Many of our classes don’t run on the traditional semester timeline. Classes start throughout the year, so you can begin when it is best for you, and develop a convenient schedule for your program. Choose from classes that are available in the daytime, in the evening, on the weekend, or online.
“I’m not prepared.”
Got you covered!
Do you need English as a Second Language instruction, to brush up your math skills or obtain your high school diploma? We offer those services, too. We have lots of experience helping students get from Point A to Point B. Our advisors can help you map out a plan from start to finish.
“I’m a working parent.”
Do it for your family!
Family comes first, right? Absolutely! That’s why we have different types of course delivery, including self-paced online classes. Do your coursework—any time—while the kids are doing their own homework or napping. Time you spend on your own education is an investment in your family’s future.
“I’m too stressed out.”
The struggle is real!
The one thing we have plenty of right now is uncertainty. Are you worried about piling more on your stress plate? Starting school now is a way to take control of your life. This is an opportunity to plan for a better future. Chesapeake’s programs prepare you for high-demand jobs in our region. Build a better, more secure future for yourself with our training. You’ll learn from industry experts in either an online format or in-person classes with strict health protocols. This is a low-risk endeavor with a huge pay-off.
