Employment Training

The Washington State Jobs Skills Program provides matching grants for customized job training. The program is tailored to meet the needs of new or expanding employers. The program requires a 50 percent matching investment from the company, but this match can include in-kind contributions (for instance, use of facilities or equipment, training instruction, etc). The Tri-Valley Private Industry Council (PIC) can also subsidize on-the-job or customized training for new companies. The PIC works closely with local vocational schools and community colleges to design and fund training that meets an expanding employer's needs.
