Get in touch with the Operators Union in your area. They provide all the training and you'll be paid while you learn. The apprenticship program is usually 3 years. Just looking into this myself. I worked one job for them so far operating a forklift at a nuclear power plant. 24.50 an hour. \nGood Luck

they are legal.  and as far as getting one, it depends on what kind of grant you are talking about.  if you're talking about an education grant, talk to your school, if you're talking about a housing grant, call your local HUD office or even your county offices.  Of course, you have to be a citizen and you usually have to financially qualify.

Many universities provide degrees in thsi area.  They often have grants available.\n\nIf this is not for you, or you can't get the financial support, I have another suggestion.\n\nLook for people in your area that practice Kinesiology.  They may need and assistant.  You could earn while you learn.  Let them knwo that you will work for a little less if they will mentor you.  This would likely be a much faster way to learnm and your boss may be able to expand their business once you are trained.\n\nBest of luck,\nJeffrey

Hi,\n\nGreat post!  I had the same grant question a few months ago. It's really tricky to find out about this stuff on the net, but my wife bought me special special software (CD) for my birthday.  The program rocks for finding the grant info you want.  btw...this is  the software that was featured on CNBC and in USA  Today.\n\nThis company is giving away the software free (only $3.95 for shipping)!!!!!!!\nHere's the link\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/free-grant-money.php\n\nI'm sure you'll find the info there\nGood luck

I think it depends on how the school is accredited.  I once taught at a technical school, and I believe they got the Department of Education to sign off on the program so they were able to offer federal grants and loans.

Go the NFPA and to your states firefighters association also your states department of public safety may offer grants as well

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nYour best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations.\n\nThe best resource for this is Foundation Center http://www.fdncenter.org . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription.

No need of certificate, unless you want to open a day-care in your house.\nYou don't need to go through another 4 year misery for permits. You just need 6 units of early childhood education (from most community colleges) to have a assistant teacher's permit. It's really easy. With the units, it's much easier to find a job, and you get paid better.

If you are young enough (under 24) then take a look into job corps -- its free training and you can recieve a certificate of completion. I think they only have MIG but not TIG. Not sure about aluminum. Check out http://jobcorps.doleta.gov/
