Career Education
Assistance Program

For more details regarding eligibility for full financial assistance through our ARPA funds, continue below.

If you do not need an industry specific certification, you can also receive job coaching for your current role or assistance finding a job.

The Career Education Assistance Program (CEAP) was created as an extension of HireGround’s current workforce readiness programs and services. CEAP is currently receiving additional funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to provide career enhancement services to residents of Prince William County who meet the ARPA eligibility guidelines. HireGround Inc. has a partnership with several schools and companies who are providing the career certifications. Depending on your eligibility, you may receive partial to a full education assistance scholarship to reduce your out-of-pocket cost for your industry certification. Upon completion of a certification program, HireGround Inc. further assists with job placement within the candidate’s career occupation of choice. Acceptance to the program is based on rolling admissions.

In 2024, HireGround Inc is looking holistically at your success through the program through one-on-one support throughout the duration of your program. Continue on this page to explore the different opportunities available with our partners.
