Incumbent Workforce Development Program

Region C Incumbent Workforce Development Program Application Process

North Carolina's Incumbent Workforce Development Program under the federal Workforce Investment Act broadens the scope of the state’s existing incumbent worker initiative.  The Program provides funding to established North Carolina businesses to provide educational and skills training for current workers. It is designed to benefit business by enhancing the skills of employees, thereby increasing employee productivity and the potential for company growth.  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.

Organizations wishing to submit an Incumbent Workforce Development Program application must first contact the local Workforce Development Administrator to discuss their potential project. 

Contact: Susan Alcide, Business Services Representative at 704 480 5414 ext. 105  or salcide@regionc.org
