WorkReady Taking Applications for Employer Grants

WorkLink Workforce Investment Board is now accepting applications for the Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) program. IWT grants are available for businesses in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties.

reimbursable training services and expenses. In addition, employers who are awarded training funds
must recognize SC WorkReady Communities Initiative by being a “recognizing level” business, as well as
pay wages of at least $10.50 per hour.
