Workforce 20/20

Workforce 20/20 is a program to assist North Dakota businesses and industries in retraining and upgrading worker's skills to meet demands of new technologies and work methods.

Workforce 20/20 assists North Dakota employers in training and upgrading workers' skills. This state funded cost sharing training program was designed to fill gaps left by federally funded training programs that generally target long term-unemployed, dislocated workers, and other disadvantaged groups. This funding assistance is available to businesses to offset training costs for current workers and new employees. Expanding businesses or those new to the state are eligible. Other businesses are eligible when they are introducing new industry technologies or introducing new industry production methods. Workforce 20/20 provides direct reimbursements to businesses. The program requires a match from the business and is targeted to primary sector businesses, although not exclusively limited to primary sector businesses. Businesses must complete a Workforce 20/20 proposal and submit it to Job Service North Dakota. The proposal will be reviewed and rated by staff of Job Service North Dakota. Those proposals eligible for Workforce 20/20 funding are submitted to the Workforce 20/20 Advisory Committee for their recommendations. If the final action by the committee recommends funding, and the Executive Director of Job Service North Dakota concurs, a cost reimbursement contract would be entered into with the business. The contract must be completed, signed, and in place prior to the start of any training for which reimbursement is being requested.
