Is there free job training in Utah?

Workforce funding can pay for job training in Utah

Every program on this page is approved for public workforce funding, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. 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 phlebotomy programs in Utah cost $464 to $1,216, and most welding programs $2,655 to $5,339. Each trade's page lists every program with its price.

Where the Utah job training numbers come from

Which Utah programs are counted?

Programs Utah 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 Utah 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".

How reliable are the Utah figures?

We leave out the share working 6 months later for Utah: its rates sit far below every other state's.
