WorkLink Workforce Investment Board is now accepting applications for the Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) program. IWT grants are available for businesses in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties. Applications will be accepted April 1 through May 31, 2011.
Incumbent Worker Training grants allow employers that have at least one employee and are current on all South Carolina state tax obligations to upgrade the skills of their current workforce through reimbursable training services and expenses. These grants are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and priority will be given to businesses in the automotive, advanced manufacturing, energy, or bioscience industries.
Guidelines and applications are available by contacting Jimmy Pennell, WorkLink Business Services Representative, at (864) 646-5899, Relay Service Dial 711 (TTY), or jpennell@worklinkweb.com.
