When an employer identifies the need to train a group of job applicants in a specific occupational skill area, the Tennessee Career Center can assist with meeting the employer’s training needs. The local program can pay up to 50% of the total cost for training a group of potential employees. The employer must agree to hire all of the applicants referred who successfully complete the training.

Customized training of an eligible employed individual may be provided for an employer or a group of employers when the employee is not earning a self-sufficiency wage as determined by local board policy. The employer(s) must agree to continue to employ the individual(s) on successful completion of the training.
