subject: The Time for Education Is Now [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. It provides a strong foundation for future generations when their moms can expand their own knowledge. One important program that is seeking to help women is the education Grants for Moms program. This federal program was initiated in 2009 as a way to help moms of all types go to school. Administrators of the program can award as much as $5,000 of the need-based Pell Grant to a worthy mom. With the $5,000 moms can pay for tuition and books or other things like travel costs or childcare. In all the system aims to be open, effective and very beneficial. The list of acceptable fields of study is one area of great variety. Courses of study are available in all areas, from English and literature to medicine and science. 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. If you are willing to take some chances, you may find success in places you didn't expect. Although scholarships for moms provide a place to start, for many people it is difficult to know where that education will lead them. Internet resources are very beneficial to career development. The Occupational Outlook Handbook is one trusted resource. This guide by the US Department of Labor analyzes the current trends of employment in a number of sectors. As its name implies, the handbook is primarily valued for its ability to analyze the outlook of a job sector ten years down the road. Another resource by the Department of Labor is CareerOneStop, and like the OOH it can also provide assumptions about job growth. There are many other reputable websites that can provide good information. Doing various searches and visiting many sites can give a 'big picture' view of the areas of interest to you. 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. The Scholarships for Moms program can help ensure that mothers are in a better position financially in the coming years.
