Workforce Development Training Grant
The state's main funding source for training is
the Workforce Development Program. Through matching
grants, this program funds industry education partnerships.
The program supports three types of training: new employee training,
current employee retraining and
current employee upgrade training. Training of hard skills, those
skills that deal with the technical aspects
of the job, is the main goal of this program. The state does, however,
recognize that soft skills and basic
academic skills are also an important part of a successful training
project.
The program is designed as a 50/50 match-funding source. Every
Workforce Development dollar must be
matched with private sector contributions — either financial
or in-kind.
