Upskill Your Employees using Government Funds with the Incumbent Worker Training program

When workers lack needed training and businesses experience skill gaps, the company’s ability to compete, expand, and retain workers can be compromised.

Incumbent Worker Training is a type of work-based training and upskilling designed to: 1) allow employers to increase the skill levels of employees so they can be promoted within the company and create backfill opportunities or 2) allow workers to acquire and develop the skills necessary to avert layoff.

Grant funding is available to help employees grow at their jobs while building a stronger workforce—and in turn, upgrading employer success. Your team could be trained and upgraded with training expenses covered.

Potential Outcomes Include:

• Worker wage increases
• Backfill skills development
• Career pathways skills development
• Job promotions
• Job changes (lateral, new skills)
• Layoff aversion
