Training Grant Opportunities
A number of specialized assistance and training programs are available to eligible
customers to help them obtain marketable skills and
move on to careers in mostly high demand occupations. To learn more about opportunities available through
the Workforce Investment Act, Trade Adjustment Act,
and other programs, such as those that provide support
and benefits for Veterans or people living with disabilities,
registered CareerPoint customers should attend a Training
& Counseling Assistance Opportunities Workshop (please see calendar for times).
Eligible customers can learn how they might receive
financial assistance, if funding is available, to enter
occupational and on the job training programs that last
one year or less. After attending the Training Opportunities
workshop, customers may meet with a Career Counselor
to learn more about these programs.
The Hiring Incentive Training Grant helps eligible
Massachusetts employers pay the training costs of newly
hired workers who were unemployed for one year or more,
or who have been laid-off one year or less without a
call back notice from their most recent employer. In
addition, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit Program provides
federal tax credits to employers who hire job seekers
in certain targeted groups. Many job seekers are eligible
for these programs, and have the choice of letting potential
employers know about them.
