Become a Business Partner

We have thousands of employees nationwide that have earned their soft skills and ready-to-work credentials and are awaiting an opportunity. Through the Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA), we can provide assistance through the following tracks:

On-The-Job Training: This program helps businesses save money while training promising new hires – we pay a percentage* of the wages paid over the training period. (*% paid varies by state)

Paid Work Experience (Paid Internship): Employ motivated talent – at NO COST to your company! Businesses save money while talented people are able to get the job-related training they need. 100% of employee wages are paid over a training period.
