Training
Every post filed under Training, newest first. Posts can carry several topics, so they show up on more than one of these pages.
The apprenticeship application: what a trades employer reads first
A shop is not screening for skill. It is screening for whether you can get there at six thirty for two years. The reading order, and what to write.

Most tuition benefits are reimbursement, not payment, and most carry a service period. The clauses to find in the policy before you enroll anywhere.

The training is not the product. The funding decision is, and a person makes it. What to bring to a first appointment and what to ask for by name.

Not cheap versus expensive or fast versus slow. It is whether the hours convert into something a third party accepts, and one question settles it.
Getting a CDL, and what company-sponsored training costs you
