    Talk about experience, interests, schedule, and the kind of work you hope to find. A resume is useful if you have one.

  2. Ask about training costs

    Check which programs have funding, what requirements apply, and whether the credential fits the work you want.

  3. Talk through barriers

    Mention transportation, childcare, disability accommodations, or other needs that may affect work or training.
