How Incumbent Worker Training Works

To be eligible for an IWT training grant, your company must need to train existing workers in order to avert potential layoffs, or increase your workers' skill level.

Specific details include:

• The training must be job-specific occupational skills training, i.e. no “soft skills” training or general worker orientation.
• Costs are reimbursed upon successful completion of training program(s.)
• If your company has recently relocated and any employee lost their job, IWT services cannot be provided for 120 days following the relocation.
