ADVANCE-NY uses Workforce Investment Act (WIA) monies to address employer demands for skilled workers. The program will fund projects that solve workforce problems by addressing identified skilled worker shortages within an industry or within a single employer's establishment through promoting occupational skills upgrading for incumbent workers.
ADVANCE-NY will provide funds to businesses to train incumbent workers in specific occupational skills needed by that business or industry and that lead to career growth and increased wages. The position(s) targeted for training must exist and be filled at the time the application is submitted. The applicant must demonstrate that the training will result in the workers' acquisition of transferable occupational skills. Public - that is federal, state, county and municipal - employees are not eligible to be trained under this initiative.
Please note: ADVANCE-NY is intended to fund training for the applicant's employees. If the applicant business has no employees or if the workers are independent contractors or contract employees they are not eligible. However, if a company leases their employees for payroll and tax reporting purposes, and it has authority over the hiring, firing and scheduling of workers, it would be eligible for funding consideration.
