Yes You CAN go to College

We want to help you further your education.  Here at Focus we want to see everybody succeed and do what they have always dreamed of.  Whether that is, owning your own business, a doctor, a computer engineer, working in a beauty salon, detailing cars, or whatever else might pique your interest.  Let us help you get started.  Contact Chris Hislop (801.393.1635 ext 1501 or chris.hislop@focusservices.com) in HR to help you get started and follow these easy steps:

1.        Decide what it is that you really want to do.

This is the most important step so really take some time to think about what makes you happy.  If you are unsure you can still start going to college but start with just getting some of your generals out of the way.  You have about 2 years before you will need to make a specific choice.  You may find that you want to do something very specific though and if that’s the case maybe a trade school would be best for you where you will learn a very specific skill and not go through all of the generals.

        2.   You will need to apply to a school.  Here are some options depending on the area you live in:

3.       3.   Apply for federal student aid:   http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

This step is important. I have heard a lot of people say that they can’t go to school because they can’t afford it.  Well log on to this website and fill out the application.  You may qualify to have the government pay for your schooling with a grant that you do not have to pay back, or by getting a student loan that won’t need to be paid back until you are done with school.  So going to school has now just become very easy!!  http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

4.        4.   Take advantage of our tuition reimbursement program. 

We will pay you back up to 70% of your tuition even if the government paid for your schooling.  Work really hard and get good grades.  Call Chris Hislop (801.393.1635 ext 1501 or chris.hislop@focusservices.com) to get all of the details on our tuition reimbursement program.  It is a very good program and we have a lot of people taking advantage of it.
