The WorkLink Workforce Development Board is accepting applications for the Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) program.
IWT grants – available for businesses in Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties – allow employers that have at least one employee to upgrade the skills of their current workforce through reimbursable training services and expenses. Employers must be current on all South Carolina state tax obligations.
Employers who are awarded training funds must support the SC WorkReady Communities Initiative by recognizing the WorkKeys National Career Readiness Certificate and pay wages of at least $10.50 per hour.
Training cost per individual will also be a consideration and all approved trainings must be completed by June 30, 2016.
Complete program guidelines and applications are available by contacting Patty Manley, WorkLink business services representative, at 864-646-1515 (TTY: 711) or pmanley@worklinkweb.com. Applications and guidelines can also be accessed online at http://worklink.scworks.org/news.php#371.
