WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT TRAINING FUND PROGRAM
Online Application
In an effort to reduce timelines, the Workforce Development Training Fund team has been working toward giving its customers access to an online application form.
The online application form will assist in shortening the 45-day application rule to 30 days, ultimately giving customers more flexibility in their training choices.
Businesses will need to register as a user on the system prior to submitting its first application. Review of the business registrations will occur on a daily basis.
The online application boasts a secure, online messaging center to communicate with its customers.
