This program makes it easier to provide health insurance benefits to employees by providing financial assistance to purchase health insurance through the Small Business Health Insurance Partnership Program, which will pay up to 45 percent of the cost of health insurance for employers with fewer than 50 employees. A portion of the costs incurred by your business for training will be reimbursed by the Department of Labor, using a formula that is based on approximately 40 to 50 percent of the wages paid to that employee during the training period. Trainees earn while they learn. The department will recruit, screen and refer qualified candidates for interviews, and will help your company design a training curriculum that can be conducted at the worksite. The result is a productive employee, familiar with your organization and methods.
Internships provide valuable on-site exposure to real working environments.
Eligible youth can be referred to your business, where they can experience real-life working conditions and learn the requirements for job retention. There is no cost to the employer for participation in this program. Internships give you the opportunity to become part of the workforce development system by providing a positive influence on your future workers. You can hire motivated, freshly trained individuals whose skills are state of the art. The current inventory of available training programs spans from Certified Network Engineer to Tractor-Trailer Driver to Photocopy Repair to Medical Technician and beyond.
