Admissions Committees
Some vocational courses at LWSB require the approval of an Admissions Committee before the trainee’s entry into a course. The committee is composed of LWSB staff members and representatives from the related job field. The committee reviews the candidate’s application and evaluation results, and conducts a personal interview. Individuals are expected to dress appropriately, as if participating in an office job interview (example: coat and tie for males; suit or dress for females).
The vocational courses that involve a review before an Admissions Committee are the three IRS courses -- Contact Collection Representative, Service Center Collection Representative and Taxpayer Service Representative -- and the Microsoft Computer Systems Engineer, Enterprise Solutions Programming, Customer Service and Assistive Technology Instructor courses.
When a trainee is accepted into a vocational training program, his/her referring counselor will be notified by letter. The letter will detail the training authorization procedure for fees, tuition, room and board, as well as training equipment and supplies.
All training authorizations are requested on a monthly basis.
