Financial Support for Employers
Each year the Utah State Legislature sets aside funding as an investment in the skill sets of Utah employees. The program has an impressive 25+ year track record of helping companies like yours deliver custom, targeted training to employees. You may qualify to have a portion of the training costs covered through Custom Fit funding. These funds may be used to help pay for training through the tech college, off-site seminars or customized training provided by other training vendors.
In these difficult economic times, many companies have decreased their training budgets and only conduct critical training. You may not know that Custom Fit funding can also be used to assist with the costs of outside training vendors AND internal training materials. Call us for more information.
To qualify for State Custom Fit funds, a business must meet one of the following criteria:
- For-profit business in Weber County
- In need of upgrade training for its employees
There is no painful application process. All you need to do to start the process is give us a call. A custom fit representative can provide additional details about the availability of funds and answer questions about your company’s eligibility.
