Hi, Frank – the NC Works website (https://www.ncworks.gov/vosnet/MenuLandingPage.aspx?enc=Kt8ubp6xpBXFjGGwpUEHTJrEFXsfohStfgt3JXg+sRo=) has information about available CDL training programs in North Carolina. There is a cost associated with these trainings, but you may be able to apply for financial assistance or grant funding.
I relocated to Charlotte in September 2019 due to my partners relocation for work . I am 65y/o and claiming UI from my previous state of residence. My ui will run out approx March 2020
I am now permanently resident in NC to which dept do I apply for senior job retraining.
Thank You
Gerry,
Please consider applying from the state of your last employment.
I am a Home Care Nurse in NC. I had two spinal surgeries at same time, 10/2018. Unfortunately I have numbness from left knee, down leg through left ankle. The Neurologist and Neurosurgeon cannot clear me since I require a cane in order to walk due to numbness. Can I collect UI in NC? I have worked steady prior to surgery.
Anna,
Unfortunately, personal reasons such as health issues are not considered. UI benefits are only offered to claimants who become unemployed due to involuntary reasons. Please call the Unemployment Office for clarification.

I have just moved here from out of state and collect uib through the other state while seeking work here. yes I have completed the change of address,,my question is while collecting uib will unemployment fund my schooling for truck driving? theres seems to be a huge demand for cdl-a drivers and obviously it would be something needed to get a specific type of job.
No they will not fund courses. You may want to check with them to see if they have schooling related to truck driving as a sponsored course.
Just graduated college, no luck in finding a job. Degree is in Sports Marketing. Open to a full time position in any career field. CPF certified, life guard for past 6 six years, life guard manager trained. Would like job in gym, YMCA, Aquatic center, banking, etc. Not picky.
