All too often it can seem as though the world is completely against you. This is particularly true if you’re unemployed or recently lost your job. You know you want to study to improve your chances of finding a good job or to update your qualifications but how on earth can you dedicate your time to study when taking unemployment benefit means that you must make yourself available at all times for work?
Well, believe it or not, the powers that be do understand this catch 22 situation. The good news is that if you go looking for help and stay consistent you WILL find people and programs out there who have the answers for you. The truth is the government wants unemployed people to study and that there are courses and programs you can take in full or part time study while still keeping your unemployment benefit. You can even apply for Pell grants for unemployed and I’ve written a full article to help guide you on how exactly to do it.
