subject: Moms: Get Education Today [print this page] If you want to achieve great things in business generally a good education is key. Unfortunately many people don't have access to quality education opportunities. Mothers who are in need of education can make a difference in their lives and the lives of their children by seeking education.
One important program that is seeking to help women is the education Grants for Moms program. The Obama-approved program began in 2009 as a way to help send stay-at-home and working moms back to school. The funds for the Obama grant program come from the federal Pell Grants. Five thousand dollars can be used by the recipient at most schools around the nation. The $5,000 can go toward paying for tuition and books or for childcare during class hours. In all the system aims to be open, effective and very beneficial.
There are plenty of areas for women to focus their studies if they enroll in school. Practically any majors and careers are suitable. Science, industry, arts and literature and history are just some of the areas of interest that many people hope can lead to a fulfilling career. Accomplishing personal work goals always begins with taking advantage of good opportunities. Moms and anyone looking forward to a successful future can only prepare themselves now.
Even as you're sitting at home you can gain understanding of career prospects by doing web research. Here is one well-regarded place for broad research: the Occupational Outlook Handbook, or OOH. The OOH is a Department of Labor publication that compiles current information about employment practices. These industry projections are done on a 10-year scale. CareerOneStop is another resource by the Department of Labor, and it can provide information about necessary training, average salary and projected growth for different jobs. There are many other reputable websites that can provide good information. Keeping a close eye on the similarities among the data can help point out clues in employment.
It's important that educational opportunities don't suffer because of a recession. Education and training can prepare many for the work demands of the future. As long as women bare the brunt of tough financial times it's important to provide resources to help them cope. The education grants for moms do just that.
