Passage Text
Workers facing layoffs in declining industries can access government-funded retraining programs that cover tuition for high-demand occupations such as nursing, trades, and technology. Career counselors help participants assess transferable skills, update resumes, and practice interview techniques before applying to new employers. Short-term financial support is available during the transition to ease the burden of reduced income.
