Title 430 CMR 14.00 - Workforce training fund
Section 14.07 - Approval of Training Grant Applications
Current through Register 1518, March 29, 2024
(1) In determining whether to approve a training grant application, the commissioner will consider the following:
(2) In making the determination, the commissioner shall seek the advice and recommendations of the Workforce Training Fund Advisory Panel and the applicable Regional Employment Board.
(3) To satisfy the requirements of 430 CMR 14.07(1)(d), an applicant must show to the satisfaction of the commissioner that it has made a commitment to provide an investment in training of its employees in an amount at least equal to the amount of the sought grant. Such investment may be either cash or in-kind; and includes those costs newly incurred by applicants as a direct consequence of undertaking the training for which a grant is being sought, but does not include any of an applicant's on-going costs of doing business if such costs are not directly related to this training. The commissioner may waive this investment requirement, in whole or in part, upon a showing of good cause. In determining whether to grant a waiver, the commissioner shall consider how the grant application otherwise satisfies the factors listed in 430 CMR 14.07(1).
(4) The commissioner shall not approve any grant application which exceeds $250,000 or which is for a period that exceeds two years.
