The Governor's Workforce Board is pleased to announce the availability of an additional $700,000 to fund incumbent worker training to help RI companies upgrade the skills of current employees and build a highly-skilled, high-performing workforce.
Rhode Island for-profit and not-for-profit businesses that contribute to the Job Development Fund are eligible to apply for matching grants of $5,000 to $40,000.
Two significant changes have been made to this grant: * Companies of any size may apply for the maximum grant award. * Companies that have a current Incumbent Worker Training Grant are eligible to apply.
An information session to review the grant application will be held on Monday, January 27 at 8:30 AM at the RI Dept. of Labor and Training, 1511 Pontiac Ave., Cranston, RI. Attendance is highly recommended. To register or for additional information, contact Dan Brown at 462-8823 or dbrown@dlt.ri.gov. Please bring a copy of the grant application with you.
