“Think of us as a branch of your training department.”
Are you interested in funding that will pay
to train you employees?
Louisiana’s Incumbent Worker Training Program (IWTP) provides
qualifying employers with grant funding through a partnership with the
Louisiana Workforce Commission and training providers such as BPCC.
Employers benefit from the program through skill development of existing employees which increases employee productivity and company
growth, creates new jobs, retains jobs that have been eliminated, and
increases wages.
To learn about the eligibility requirements for the Incumbent Worker
Training Program, visit the Louisiana Workforce Commission’s website
www.laworks.net
Two ways employers can apply for IWTP funding:
1) If you are a medium to large organization with a wide range of training needs and you need customized training delivered on-site, then
IWTP’s Customized Training program may be right for you.
“As our IWTP grant administrator, BPCC did
an outstanding job of staying in contact and
ensuring we were on target to meet our goals. BPCC also provided excellent support with
training; their instructors were very
professional and knowledgeable.
Richard Smith, HR Administrator,

Call us at 678-6015 if you are interested in Customized Training

by assisting in the skill development of existing employees through
individual, standardized (off-the shelf) training.
