The Missouri Customized Training Program is a part of the Missouri Department of Economic Development's Division of Work Force Development. Missouri Customized Training provides funding to Missouri employers for the training and retraining of new and existing workers. Assistance may be available for training costs such as assessing training needs, pre-employment, developing appropriate curriculum, instructor's salaries, instructional salaries, job aids, and vendor training. The program can reimburse the employer for 50 percent of the hourly wage of the new employees in selected occupations for their first several weeks on the job.
Companies provide training to the new employees on an individual basis while making a product.
The length of training is tied to the skill level required for the job and the time needed for the trainee to become productive. The business is retraining existing employees as a result of substantial new capital investment in manufacturing. The business is a new or expanding company creating new jobs above their peak employment level for the past year. To find out more click here to link to Missouri Customized Training Program.
