Project HIRE - OHIO
- Rating: No Rating
I just returned from a meeting concerning a state initiative called Project HIRE (Hometown Investment in Regional Economies), to hire and train displaced workers. Obviously this is for the State of Ohio, but I imagine there are similar programs in other states as well.
There is funding available for displaced (layed off) workers to receive additional training up to $6,000 per person. Also for employers there are tax credits, training funds and OTJ Training funds. For Ohio you need to go to www.jfs.ohio.gov or call 937.225.6444 (Employer Hot Line) for more information. For other states check with Job & Family Services to see if there is a similar program available. Currently there is $7M available and it is first come, first serve.
