With all the RIF notices, does anyone know if the unemployment department offers educational grants to help newly unemployed teachers the opportunity to go back to school and possibly "retrain" for a different career, if they wish?
If not, should this or could this be a new business item?

Is there anything additional (similar to Boeing layoffs) where they can get funds to help them with new careers, being it might be hard to get back into the education field?
