Turnaround Services - Displaced Homemaker
Western Technical College provides support services to students who are Displaced Homemakers.

After an initial meeting and the development of an Educational/Career Plan, students may receive assistance, including "up front" college expenses, transportation and childcare assistance, Myers/Briggs and Strong assessments, member newsletter, Hot Chocolate/Hot Issues Support Group, ongoing case management throughout college career, labor market information, and employment services.
