Individuals interested in the training must be enrolled in an allowable institution, preferably a community college or a university, before June 30, 2007.   Dislocated workers are individuals who have been laid off, downsized, or unemployed as a result of their companies reducing their workforces and transitioning from declining industries. Since funding is limited, factors, at a minimum, must include: 

Dislocated workers entering training leading to employment in a high growth industry or sector,      
 
Dislocated workers entering training leading to employment in an emerging industry or sector,       
 
Dislocated workers who were dislocated from employment in a declining industry or sector,      
 
Dislocated workers entering training through the community college system,
 
Dislocated workers entering training through a university that functions as a community college in a local area,
 
Dislocated workers should enter accelerated training programs, as available.
