The Going PRO Talent Fund makes awards to employers to assist in training, developing and retaining current and newly hired employees. Training funded by the Talent Fund must be short-term and fill a demonstrated talent need experienced by the employer. Training must lead to a credential for a skill that is transferable and recognized by industry.
Some of these changes include:
· Streamlined abbreviated applications
· New/Current trainee funding is being raised from $1500 to $2000 per person
· USDOL Registered Apprentice funding of $3500 1st year through completion
· Bi-annual application and award cycles (late fall & early summer)
Going PRO Talent Fund information sessions are expected to be near the end of September but now is a good time to start thinking about your application.
