Governor Lamont and the Connecticut General Assembly created CareerConneCT to help the thousands of Connecticut residents whose jobs and lives were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to get back to work in Connecticut’s fastest-growing industries, in better jobs than those they had before the pandemic. CareerConneCT helps eligible people access and participate in short-term (typically 5 to 20-week) training programs that allows you to earn industry-recognized credentials and find entry-level employment in a high-quality career pathway. If you are eligible, CareerConneCT participants may also receive a skills inventory, case management, and job placement support, as well as supportive services such as transportation, childcare, housing, food, technology, benefits counseling, stipends, and/or other services needed to attend job training and care for your family during training.
