Training Program Emergency Financial Assistance 

Emergency Financial Assistance funds will help participants enrolled in Trade Institute of Pittsburgh’s programs to manage unexpected financial crises and support their basic needs while working toward jobs with family-sustaining wages. Trade Institute of Pittsburgh will distribute the funds to students to help with emergency financial needs, such as car repairs or child care, that would otherwise prevent them from completing their training.
