Just in time for the start of 2013 our government has
decided to make more training funds available for Ohio employees.
The Ohio
Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher Program will fill a gap in current
workforce development programs by providing needed training dollars to Ohio's
incumbent workforce through a unique public-private partnership. The ultimate
goal of this program is twofold: allow employers to retain and grow their
existing Ohio workforce and create a statewide workforce that can meet the
present and future demands in an ever changing economy.
Eligible employers must demonstrate that by receiving
funding assistance through the Ohio Incumbent Workforce Training Voucher
Program their business will not only obtain a skilled workforce but will
improve their company processes and competitiveness.
The Program provides a reimbursement up to $4,000 per
employee per fiscal year (July 1-June 30).
The employer will be reimbursed for up to 50% of the cost of the
training after the training is complete.
The $4,000 can be utilized in a single training or amassed over several
trainings in the fiscal year.
Employer Eligibility
An eligible employer must operate as a for-profit entity in
a state designated target industry with a facility located in Ohio.
