The Workforce Response Team in Baker, Union and
Wallowa counties is
accepting applications to fund training costs for current employees.
The
Employer Workforce Training Fund can be used to cover 50% of the costs
of
training current workers. The fund cannot be used to train new employees,
public sector employees, to recruit employees, to relocate employees
from
one area to another, fund proprietary training, or some other expenditures.
The maximum award to any one employer will be $40,000.
The grant award must
be matched 1:1 by the employer through in-kind or cash contributions.
All
expenditures must be documented to receive reimbursement of costs incurred
and employer must provide evidence of successful completion of the
training
by specified employees. Additional obligations will include some up-front
information about employees and compliance with necessary follow-up
and
reporting activities.
Information on the application process for the workforce training fund is available from Teri Simonis at Training and Employment Consortium (http://www.tecteam.org/). Her phone number is 541-963-8458, her e-mail is simot@tecteam.org.
