Is there free job training in Delaware?

Workforce funding can pay for job training in Delaware

It can pay for training for eligible adults, people who lost their job and young people.1People on public assistance, with a low income or lacking basic skills come first, and veterans have priority.2

Ask at an American Job Center

Eligibility rules apply, and services vary from state to state. Your local American Job Center can tell you whether you qualify. The Department of Labor's page links to the center finder, or call 1-877-US-2JOBS (1-877-872-5627).3

Or pay for training yourself

Without funding, prices differ by trade: most CNA programs in Delaware cost $2,595 to $3,213, and most welding programs $3,365 to $4,965. Each trade's page lists every program with its price.

Where the Delaware job training numbers come from

Which Delaware programs are counted?

Programs Delaware approved for public workforce funding (the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act). They come from the US Department of Labor's file for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025), covering programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Delaware offers.

What the figures for each trade mean

Each figure is the middle program among those that report it: half did better, half did worse. Prices are what most programs cost if you pay yourself (the middle half). Earnings are for the second quarter after students left, times four. Where too few programs report a figure, the table says "Not reported".
