NORTH CAROLINA'S INCUMBENT WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
North Carolina's Incumbent Workforce Development Program under the federal Workforce Investment Act broadens the scope of the state's existing incumbent worker initiative. Our Workforce Investment Act programsare administered through 24 regions of the state (covering all 100 counties) designated as local workforce development areas. The Program provides funding to established North Carolina businesses to provide educational and skills training for current workers. Training in portable skills results in a more highly skilled and versatile workforce that contributes to North Carolina's ability to attract new business and creates an environment conducive to expansion.
Businesses interested in applying for Incumbent Worker Program funding can develop a training proposal in conjunction with the local Workforce Development Board. The local Workforce Development Board is responsible for administration, oversight, reporting, and monitoring the Incumbent Workforce Program.
