The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) provides funding for continuing education, training, and upskilling of incumbent – existing – employees through Incumbent Worker Training (IWT). IWT is a competitive grant that provides funding to help eligible businesses effectively train and retain employees by providing skill upgrades and process improvement training for existing employees. SCW accepts IWT applications from organizations conducting business in Kittitas, Klickitat, Skamania and/or Yakima counties. Training applications are open and remain competitive until June 30, or until all funding is exhausted. See more information regarding the IWT application and awarding process here.
