Learn a trade. Fund the future.
ME Living Inc. is the proposed legal school applicant and operator, and King & Co. Institute of Applied Careers is the public training brand. Four planned academies — Business, Creative Arts, Real Estate Diamonds, and Health & Human Services — connect students to workforce, employer, public-benefit, veteran, and scholarship pathways that may help pay for training after eligibility and provider/program approval are verified. Tell us where you are, and we'll show you the possible path.
First in the approval sequence · Online-first
Start with four practical online career pathways.
These are proposed first-round programs because they can be taught using our existing online curriculum, projects and staff-led instruction, without a dedicated trade lab. California school, program and distance-education approvals are still pending. A funding pre-screen is not enrollment.

Some students may qualify for a government workforce program, public-benefit training support, employer funding, apprenticeship, vocational rehabilitation, veteran benefits, or scholarship support. A match shown by this site is only a screening result until staff verifies the participant, provider, program, payer rules, and available funds. Our intake walks you through a short self-attested screen, then shows you the programs you may qualify for and routes your file to staff for verification.
We work with SNAP E&T, TANF, WIOA, Veterans programs (VR&E / VET TEC), Vocational Rehabilitation, reentry and second-chance programs, employer/apprenticeship routes, and COCAS or partner scholarship pathways when actual funding exists.
