MISSOURI CUSTOMIZED TRAINING

The Missouri Customized Training Program provides assistance to Missouri employers for the training and retraining of new and existing employees. Your company may apply for funding to cover costs related to classroom training, such as curriculum development, instructional salaries, and training materials.

Eligible Applicants
Your company is qualified to apply if it fits the following criteria:

• provides permanent, full-time employment to Missouri residents;
• is creating new jobs in the state above the company’s peak employment level in the past year; or
• is retraining existing employees as a result of a substantial new capital investment.

Application Procedure
To initiate the application process, your company should submit an Employer Request for Training to MCC Business & Learning Solutions 30 days prior to the start date of training or hiring. The Missouri Customized Training department staff will review the application and then notify you whether funding will be awarded and at what level. Training may be provided by a Local Education Agency, a private vendor, or company personnel.

Special Programming Requirements
Funding amounts are approved on an individual project basis. Some occupations and industries may not be eligible. Minimum wage rates apply.

Program Partners
In the Greater Kansas City region, MCC Business & Learning Solutions is the certified Local Education Agency (LEA) that administers the funding, which is provided through a partnership among the Department of Economic Development, the Division of Workforce Development and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
