NJ State Training Grants Available!

NETD Training partnered with a number of New Jersey businesses to provide New Jersey’s  Competitive Customized Training Grants.

New Jersey's Workforce Development Partnership (WDP) Program was established in 1992. One provision of the WDP law provides grant funding for customized skills training for employees located in New Jersey. WDP is funded through a dedicated assessment on workers and employers and is a key component in the Governor’s Economic Growth Strategy.

Competitive Customized Training Funds are available to upgrade the skills of workers to ensure that New Jersey employers are more competitive in the global economy. This competitive grant program is made possible under the New Jersey Workforce Development Partnership, and is administered by the Office of Grants Operations (Customized Training Unit).  All awards are made subject to the availability of funds.
Applications must meet specific business needs, with an emphasis on training front-line workers. In accordance with the WDP law, most of the individuals receiving customized training will be trained primarily for work in the direct production of goods and services.
The Customized Training program is designed to benefit both employees and businesses by enhancing the skills of workers, thereby increasing their productivity and the competitiveness of the employer. This investment by the State is expected to result in the creation of new jobs, the retention of jobs and/or an increase in wages for the trained workers.
