Designed to take the sting out of the training search, this directory and guide contains hundreds of technical and non-technical training opportunities that are free, almost free, or actually pay you while you're in training. It delivers detailed coverage of available apprenticeships and government- and armed forces-sponsored programmes, and highlights special corporate programmes that offer earn as you learn training. Special attention is given to exceptional training opportunities for veterans, minorities, and disabled workers.
