Incumbent Worker Training Program (IWTP)

Bossier Parish Community College Workforce Development and Continuing Education Department offers grant writing and management services for Louisiana’s Incumbent Worker Training Program.

The Incumbent Worker Training Program (IWTP) provides qualifying employers with grant funding to train their workforce. It is a partnership between the Louisiana Workforce Commission, business and industry, and training providers. IWTP benefits business and industry by assisting in the skill development of existing employees and thereby increasing employee productivity and growth of the company.

To date our program has managed $19.1 million in funding. This funding comes from the interest earned on overpayment of federal unemployment insurance and is returned to the employers who pay into the system.

Improvements through training result in:

The creation of new jobs,
The retention of jobs that otherwise may have been eliminated, and
An increase in wages for trained employees.

Who is eligible for IWTP Funds?

Any business who has operated in Louisiana AND contributed to the state’s Unemployment Insurance System for at least 3 years
Employers with at least 15 employees to be trained OR could join with other employees in a consortium for similar training
Employers who exhibit a long-range commitment to employee training
