Free Training Available for Employees Through Grant to MCCC
WEST WINDSOR, N.J. -- Thanks to a new $1.33 million grant, area businesses and nonprofit organizations can now send their employees for training in basic math and communication skills, English as a Second Language (ESL), and Microsoft applications, free of charge. Taught by instructors from Mercer County Community College's Center for Training and Development at its campus in West Windsor, the training can also be arranged at employment sites when a company has 10 or more of employees needing the training. The grant was secured in cooperation with the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development through a grant to the New Jersey Business and Industry Association and the New Jersey County College Consortium. The
program is made easy for participating businesses as there is no complicated
paperwork or financial disclosure required. Businesses pay no fee other
than regular employee wages during working hours. If the class is scheduled
at a time other than working hours, the employer must pay the worker's
salary. |
