An Incentive to Pursue Your Dream
Feb 15, 2010 Wedding Planning InstituteIn 2009, President Obama challenged Americans to take charge of their future by creating opportunity through higher education. This was a clear directive to Americans to better themselves and see what opportunities their local schools offer. Education doesn’t have to end once we find a full-time job. Our passion may not lie in what we do on an everyday basis. Perhaps some of us dream of becoming wedding and event planners.
A few weeks ago in the 2010 State of the Union Address the president again mentioned a few programs that can help those people who are interested in pursuing a new career. As Forrest Junior College has noted, “The American Graduation Incentive will help 5 million Americans earn certificates and degrees in the next decade.” If you’re looking for a new career and you need help financing it today may be the best time ever to pursue your goals.
This program is part of the fiscal-year 2010 budget and may be passed soon. It is designed to provide financing to community colleges for increasing their graduation rate but also for expanding workforce partnerships (for growing industries or careers in their area) and making more financing available for students to take courses including certification programs. The financing for this program is $10 billion.
Another potential benefit may be the new American Opportunity Tax Credit, which is credit for tuition and supplies). Officials have expanded what the tuition credit covers, and it’s worth asking your local community college if it covers the materials for Lovegevity’s certified wedding planner course.
Every year, the wedding industry continues to grow as more and more people are getting married and more couples are seeking professional help to plan their perfect wedding day while maintaining a reasonable wedding budget. Certified Wedding and Event Planners are trained to do exactly that and are strongly positioned to succeed in the economy of today and tomorrow.
If you have dreamed of planning weddings for a living or are just curious to see if you have what it takes to succeed in this rewarding field, take a tour of our online and classroom course curriculum at www.cwptour.com. Your future as a Certified Wedding and Event Planner awaits!

I am almost done with my training at WPI and about to become a certified wedding planner. Being a mom, I really thought it was impossible to go to school and thought I would be stuck in a dead end job forever. Now with grants and this great school, I was able to accomplish my dreams in a career I love!

I will be finishing my certification in May and I am really exicited to get out there and start planning. My instructor is really great. She has arranged to have several great guest speakers come in and share their industry knowledge with us. I would recommend this program to anyone who is thinking about pursuing wedding planning

I am glad I had the oppurtunity to take this course. I have always had an eye for designs and being able to put small events together. At first I was interested only in small events beacuse I thought weddings involved too much detail. In reality it is not. My instructor was able to give me the hands on experiance I need to become more confident with wedding planning. I can now say I am an event planner, specializing in Wedding planning! I am even more excited to learn more as I get to do more events.
