The EDC, in partnership with Skagit Valley College, will host a free online information session to help businesses and organizations learn about Skagit Valley College’s Job Skills Program Grant. The event, Info Session: Job Skills Program, will take place on Wednesday, March 4, from 10:00 – 11:00a.m. online via Zoom.

Businesses and organizations looking to train new employees, retrain existing employees, and improve current employees’ skillsets are encouraged to attend and learn more about this grant opportunity.

The Job Skills Program (JSP) grant from the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) provides funding to qualifying companies to substantially offset the cost of larger-scale employee training. Businesses & organizations can collaborate with Skagit Valley College (SVC) to apply for JSP funding, to provide customized employee training, over a grant period of one to two years.

This info session is free and requires pre-registration at https://sanjuansedc.org/bizlabs.
