NDOL requires applications at least 45 days before a quarterly Workforce Development Board meeting; the next published consideration cutoff is October 20, 2026, with no published closing time or time zone.
Required next actionEligible Nebraska accredited colleges and institutions should review NDOL's Program Eligibility and Application Procedures, Occupation and Program Eligibility policy, 2026-2027 Initial Eligible Occupation and Program List, Tribal Policy, Appeal Policy, Monitoring and Compliance materials, and the online application before submission. Healthcare is an identified high-demand field, and Nebraska's first federally approved programs include Pharmacy Technician and Phlebotomy Technician.
