Unemployed?

Maintaining up-to-date technology skills is essential for job seekers. We help unemployed individuals and job seekers to obtain training through the following two methods:

1. Discounts Offered to Unemployed Students:

Simply send AcademyX a photocopy of a recent unemployment claim or check, and we can offer you the following discounted rates:

• San Francisco: 50% discount on all classes
• Sacramento: 20% discount on introductory MS Office classes, 40% discount on all other classes
• Los Angeles: not eligible
• San Jose: not eligible
• online seminars and training videos: not eligible

2. You May Qualify for Government-Funded Training:

The Employment Development Department (EDD) recognizes AcademyX on its Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). California residents who are currently unemployed, underemployed or dislocated may qualify for government-funded training under the federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998.

Participants in the WIA-funded training program may be eligible for training in Microsoft and Adobe applications, programming languages, databases, web technologies, and more.

The first step is to contact your local California One-Stop Career Center, and arrange to speak to a career counselor regarding whether or not you may qualify for this program. To find your nearest One-Stop, download this PDF and look up the phone number under the county you live in:
