11.15.22 | Train the Mentor 9 seats remaining
Quality mentors positively impact the training outcomes of new employees and, therefore, help an organization achieve progress. Individuals often are selected to serve as mentors because they are among the most experienced workers on the floor. Additionally, they have extensive knowledge about the ins and outs of a job. Imparting that experience and knowledge onto others is a whole other skill requiring patience, empathy, time, and more. This interactive class is designed to offer mentors the tools and resources they need to effectively and sustainably train skilled workers, including apprentices.

POTENTIAL FUNDING AVAILABLE
|
|
Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) can help qualifying companies upskill current workers to be more competitive. IWT improves productivity, creates new revenue streams, and improves retention of valued employees.
On-the-Job Training (OJT) is a “hire-first” program. Employer agrees to hire, train, and retain the individual upon successful completion of the training program. Businesses may be reimbursed for up to 75% of the new employee’s wages and the extraordinary costs of the training. Workers have the opportunity to earn and learn.
The Employer Training Investment Program (ETIP) is a state funded grant provided by the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO). ETIP reimburses companies for strengthening their full-time employees through training, leading to a stronger workforce and a more competitive business. Funds could cover up to 50% of eligible training costs. Companies can apply for these fund through the Chicago Federation of Labor (CFL). Please note, a new grant cycle began as of July 1, 2022. The new grant forms have not been finalized as of yet however, CFL encourages any companies that would be interested in submitting for ETIP to reach out so they can at least start working with them on the paperwork that they would need to be gathering on their end so when the forms are finalized it should be a fairly smooth process.
