How Idaho LAUNCH Works

Step 1: Check Eligibility & Choose a Program 
Idaho LAUNCH for adults is open to Idaho residents pursuing training in an in-demand career
When applying, list as many courses as you are interested in—you can only apply to LAUNCH once, and you won’t be penalized if you don’t use all the funds.

Step 2: Apply Online
Submit your application through the Idaho LAUNCH website. After applying, watch for an email or phone call from LAUNCH—this may be for fund acceptance, clarification, or to request more information. Applications usually take 48 hours to 1 week to process, but delays can occur if calls or emails aren’t answered by you.

Step 3: Receive Funds!
If approved, you’ll receive a voucher covering up to 80% of your training costs. You must start your first training course within 12 months of receiving it.
