Where do you go for training?
As a resource, below are some of the companies that our industry partners have used for training their employees. You are NOT limited to these companies, and we cannot guarantee that the course you select from their offerings will match up with our grant. Grant approved courses may change from program year to program year. We will work to accommodate your preference for training topics and vendors. Do you plan to use your own staff member to train your employees instead of seeking an external training company? Contact us for a special document that you may submit that asks for information about your trainer.
