Employer Training Investment Program

 

The Employer Training Investment Program (ETIP) helps keep Illinois workers' skills in pace with new technologies and business practices, which, in turn, helps businesses increase productivity, reduce costs, improve quality and boost competitiveness. ETIP grants can reimburse new or expanding companies for up to 50 percent of the cost of training their employees. Employers may select the workers that participate in the training; however, trainees must be employed by the company prior to implementation of the training program. Instructors may be plant workers, public educators, private consultants or others possessing the required expertise. Grants may be awarded to individual businesses, to original equipment manufacturers sponsoring multi-company training for employees of their Illinois supplier companies, and to intermediary organizations operating multi-company training projects.
