Why training sits here

Skills are a funding gap too.

Plenty of applications fail for reasons no loan can fix — pricing that does not cover cost, no idea what the margin is, no system for collecting what is owed. Those are training problems, and a decline does not solve them.

When the Funding Readiness Assessment finds a skills gap, it routes you here rather than to a rejection letter. Complete the course, re-take the assessment, and come back into the funding pipeline.
