ReEmploying Virginians program offering $3,000 in free tuition to qualifying residents

I want to take an opportunity to welcome Germanna Community College as an advertiser on Potomac Local News.

I’ve been working closely with the college during the coronavirus pandemic to help get out the word on many of the things it is doing to help students in our communities continue to advance their education despite the challenges of remote learning.

It’s no secret that many of us are hurting right now because we lost our jobs or have been furloughed due to the coronavirus pandemic. This has all happened at no fault of our own.

Germanna knows this, and that’s why is offering an amazing new program called Re-Employing Virginians for residents who need to brush up on their skills to get new jobs in some of the hottest career fields today, including nursing, cybersecurity, public safety, arc welding, asphalt field techs, and more.

Qualifying residents can get up to $3,000 in FREE tuition for educational programs in these fields, and all you have to do is visit Germanna’s website for more details. Don’t wait because this FREE money won’t last long.

To celebrate Air Quality Awareness Week (May 6-10, 2024), Clean Air Partners is working with A Few Cool Hardware Stores to exchange DC, Maryland and Virginia residents’ gas-powered lawnmowers, trimmers, and leaf blowers at select Ace Hardware locations in the region. DMV residents who turn in their gas-powered lawn tools will receive a FREE Ego Power+ replacement including batteries and chargers, while supplies last.

Compared to gas, electric lawn equipment can reduce emissions, noise pollution, health risks and maintenance costs and time. The program aims to remove about a hundred gas-powered polluting tools from yards in the greater Baltimore-Washington region.

The exchanges will take place the weekends of May 17-19, 2024, and May 31-June 2, 2024, at A Few Cool Hardware Stores network of employee-owned Ace Hardware stores in the DC and Baltimore metro areas.
