Workforce Funding Assistance

The Hiring Incentive Training Grant Program is open to all employers. It provides training grants of up to $2,000 per employee and up to $30,000 a year per company. This program assists in paying training costs for newly hired employees who have been unemployed over a year and those that do not have a call back date from their last employer.

The prevention of occupational injury and illness is in everyone's best interest. A safe workplace means fewer injuries, which in turn means the employer does not lose productivity or increased insurance costs; the insurer is paying for fewer claims further lowering costs. Apply for grants to enable your company to offer safety training programs for your employees.
