New Jobs Training
North Dakota New Jobs Training Program
The North Dakota New Jobs Training Program provides incentives to businesses that are creating new employment opportunities through business expansion and relocation to the state. The program provides primary sector businesses with no-cost funding to help offset the cost of training new employees. The North Dakota New Jobs Training Program provides for the capture of the state income tax withholding generated from the new job positions that are created.To qualify, the business must be in a primary sector industry, either be locating to the state or expanding employment in the state. The new jobs created must pay a minimum of $10 per hour plus benefits within the first 12 months of employment. Under the North Dakota New Jobs Training Program, the business obtains funds in the form of a loan, a repayable grant, or under a self-financing option. The loan can be obtained from a commercial lender, local development corporation, Bank of North Dakota, or other qualified lender. The state, a city, or a local development corporation could issue repayable grants. The loan or grant, plus interest, is repaid through state income tax withholding generated from the new job positions created. Under the self-financing option, sixty percent of the allowable state income tax withholding can be reimbursed directly to the business. State income tax withholding from new positions created can be captured for up to ten years or until the loan or self-financing option is repaid, whichever comes first. A North Dakota New Jobs Training Preliminary Agreement establishes the effective date for a project and must be signed and in place prior to the start date of any employees filling new job positions to be included under the project.
