By BeatriceDewberryCorbylane BusheyAfter working 20 years incustomer service for twowell-established businessesin Springfield, CorbylaneBushey never envisionedherself unemployed and returning tocollege at age 53.She had worked for 16 years atBaystate Gas Co., when she waslaid off in 2004. She was fortunateenough to find another job atMassMutual, only to be faced withunemployment again four yearslater.She recalls the date as easily asciting her birthday, “It was April 13,2009.”“I just never thought it wouldhappen to me. I just knew that Iwould retire from MassMutual,” shesays. “I never imagined that I wouldbe in this position.”Bushey, a talkative friendly woman,liked her customer service jobsand helping people, so she wasdisappointed at the thought offinding something else.Hardly a quitter, Bushey beganher work search aggressively,soon realizing that with anunemployment rate of about 10percent, finding a job without anacademic degree wasn’t going to beeasy.That’s when she learned of theSection 30 program, part of theMassachusetts Employment andTraining Law, under the Division ofUnemployment Assistance. In theprogram, unemployed workers cancontinue to receive compensationwhile enrolled in pre-approvedtraining or education programs.<strong>Student</strong>s can waive the requirementto actively search for work whilein training, and receive eligibleunemployment extensions.“Looking for work was a fulltimejob in itself,” Bushey says,recalling hours she spent submittingresumes online, filling out lengthyapplications and telephoningprospective employers to no avail.“I wanted to do something moreto help my chances of getting abetter job,” Bushey says, addingthat getting a certificate or anassociate degree would enhance hermarketability.Bushey was able to pay for collegeusing grant funds and by taking outa Stafford Loan.However, some Section 30 studentsare able to receive assistanceunder the Workforce InvestmentAct, if funds are available, PatsyTraficante, facilitator for Section 30programs at HCC, says.“Section 30 is a great thing forpeople who are serious aboutgoing back to school,” Bushey says.“And coming to HCC was rightfor me. The teachers here areunderstanding and supportive.There’s lots of resources, andthe college is friendly, safe andcomfortable even for students whohave not been in school in more than25 years.”For more information on the Section30 program at HCC, contact PatsyTraficante, (413) 552-2230.www.hcc.eduIt’s easy, convenient, and no waiting in line!With online student self-service you can… – Mid-term and final grades– Class schedule– Unofficial transcripts (course history) For help signing on to My HCC, stop by the Welcome Center, Frost 221-223,email dlhelp@hcc.edu, or call (413) 552-2124.
