Street Tech is committed to provide its various Life/Professional Development Sills and Computer Training courses to residents who may be traditionally less employable. To that extreme, Street Tech is aggressively seeking grant funding assistance to enable it to extend this form of education at little or no cost to qualified applicants such as individuals presently under CalWORKS assistance.

Street Tech is also in contact with public agencies including Workforce Investment Boards, Employment and Human Services, the State Employment Training Panel and others, that are under mandate to provide vocational training assistance to targeted populations needing job skills development. These public agencies are the major source of funding for non-profit vocational training providers such as Street Tech.

Street Tech does not have any internal mechanism for offering tuition assistance or loans to applicants, nor does it have any connection with any private entities that might provide loans to applicants for this kind of vocational training.
