| Join the Lincoln Partnership for Economic Development for an upcoming free workshop with the City of Lincoln to talk about opportunities for funding made available for customized job training and incumbent worker training programs.
The workshop will explore the funding available through the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).
Both funding opportunities provide between 50-90 percent reimbursement of the employer’s contribution towards the employer-designed training. Employers are required to pay a portion of the training cost. More details on matching and the programs are available here through the American Job Center of Lancaster and Saunders Counties.
