This course was developed in part with support from an ARPA grant provided by Willamette Workforce Partnership, which funded tuition for 75 students over the past year. We are thankful for the opportunity to partner with WWP and to serve our region through this program. While the ARPA-funded spots have now been fully filled, tuition-based registrations remain available.
