Northern Virginia Incumbent Worker Training Grants

In order to meet local employers’ demand to re-train their existing workforce, Virginia Career Works Northern Region offers Incumbent Worker Training grants through the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). These funds can assist employers to support their employees in gaining new skills and in making their businesses more competitive and profitable.

The grant program reimburses employers for the cost of training their workers, and cover training costs such as instructional costs for training courses, classes for certification exams, online training, textbooks and manuals. Participating businesses must provide a minimum matching contribution to the Incumbent worker training project, in amounts identified in the State of Virginia policy based upon company size. These matching funds may include in-kind services.

To apply for a grant, employers must submit an application and request on company letterhead via email to David Hunn at david.hunn@vcwnorthern.com.
