This requires pre-planning and starting your work trade 6-8 months before the program begins. Work trade for level 1 is only available between the months of April – November.  Therefore, you need to start your work trade in April to apply them to the October- March winter program. Work traders need to go through an interview, have references and have their own transportation, and live in Rhode Island. Check out our work-trade page here.
