Training Programs

If you are unable to work due to your industrial injury, you may work with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) to develop a training plan to train you for a new job. Your VRC will discuss with you the vocational process and the options available.

Once the training plan is approved by L&I, there are 2 options:

Option 1 is to participate in the plan approved by L&I.
Option 2 gives you the ability to develop a plan on your own.

You must use licensed, accredited, or otherwise approved training programs with your Option 2 benefits.

There are resources to help you find a licensed, accredited, or otherwise L&I approved training program:

CheckOutaCollege.com (www.CheckOutaCollege.com) matches interests to community and trade programs in Washington State.
Career Bridge (www.CareerBridge.wa.gov) can help you find the education and training you need to get the job you want.
If you find a school or training program that isn't licensed or accredited, they still may qualify for an L&I provider number. See L&I's Interim Guidelines for Approving Schools and Training Programs for more information.
Contact PSRS at 360-902-6756 to find out if a school is already an L&I provider.
