WEDnet PA Guaranteed Free Training (GFT) Continues
By Michele Pappalardo, Director, Business Training Resources

(Continued from Front Page)

The 2006-2007 WEDnetPA GFT program's recommended funding level is at $18 million, which represents a 30 percent decrease across the Commonwealth. Despite the decrease, applications for almost $2 million were received by NCC for first round funding. Fifty four Basic Skills (BS) and 38 Information Technology (IT) applications were submitted for funding. 2006-2007 should prove to be another exciting year for the GFT program, providing qualified companies with money for training in a wide range of basic and high-tech topics.

The Business Training Resources Department specializes in helping employers access funding to support their training efforts. If you are not familiar with the WEDnetPA GFT program, please contact us today to determine your company's eligibility.
