The bulk of our outside funding has come from a
customized job training program for expanding businesses like ours.
* CJT: The
Customized Job Training program can cover the training costs of companies which create new jobs.
The funding includes a $500,000 opportunity grant for costs associated with the expansion of the company's headquarters facilities, job creation tax credits of $700,000 to help add at least 350 positions in the area over the next three years, and $250,000 for
customized job training.
This report highlights the most salient information called for in the legislation, including data on: faculty demographics and curricular areas; student enrollment in for-credit courses and by curricular areas; dual enrollment; distance learning; articulation agreements with higher education institutions; class size; retention and graduation rates;
customized job training offerings and businesses and organizations served; remediation; and geographic representation of students.
