“As someone who doesn’t earn a high wage, not having to pay out of pocket upfront is a huge relief. This kind of support makes a real difference for people like me. Access to resources, like tutoring is just as important, and I’m already planning to take advantage of these opportunities when they become available in 2025. The Training Fund represents exactly why we fought so hard for it-to make sure everyone has a fair chance to grow and succeed without financial barriers. I am excited for our Training Fund to begin in January.”
