Student Services

Supporting Your Career Goals

Balancing your life while completing your career training can have its challenges.  Don’t face it alone. We are dedicated to ensuring your experience is healthy and enjoyable.

Academic Support

Assistance and tutoring options are ready and available for you for pre-enrollment brush-up courses in math, reading, writing, and digital literacy, courses specific to English language learners, as well as individualized tutoring during enrollment when requested. Whether it’s brushing up on the basics or learning how to establish productive study habits, we will work with you through whatever academic challenges you are dealing with to help support you on your path to success.

Bidwell Training Center teams with local non-profit Literacy Pittsburgh™ to help establish group or individualized tutoring here on BTC campus.

Advising

Student Services house Student Advisors to orient and guide you through your selected program. Advisors can assist you through all life obstacles in finances, accessing valuable community resources, and identifying and resolving any potential barriers.

Advisors are equipped to support you in communicating your needs and developing action-oriented solutions, whether here at school or outside in your personal life. Don’t hesitate to contact your advisor today. We are here to help.

Student Services has partnered with local experts to provide the most comprehensive resources available to support you during your no-cost training. Resource inquiries include questions about childcare, professional clothing, housing and utility budgeting, transportation assistance, application for PA SNAP benefits, and BTC’s own on-campus food pantry. BTC was awarded a state designated PA Hunger Free Campus.
