POLICY


AISH clients and their cohabitating partners can access employment, training, and career services at Alberta Works Centres.

Funding for full-time and part-time training is available under the Student Financial Assistance Act (SFAA). Applicants for SFAA programs will be assessed for financial need and eligibility will be determined based on the program requirements.

Training benefits (tuition, books, supplies and/or student association/mandatory fees) are fully exempt as income for both clients and their cohabitating partner.

AISH clients are encouraged to let their worker know when they are attending training and report any financial assistance they receive.
