Incumbent Worker Training is training provided to a current employee(s) (incumbent worker(s)) to meet the needs of an employer. These training's assist an employer to retain a skilled workforce or avert the need to lay off employees;
increase the competitiveness of the employer or employee; and are conducted with a commitment by the employer to retain or avert the layoffs of the incumbent worker trained. Such training may also include the up-skilling of an employer's current workforce, which may lead to additional opportunities for potential jobseekers.
Note: Training for incumbent workers must lead to an in-demand occupation (as determined at the local workforce service delivery system level), but does not necessarily have to lead to a high priority occupation (HPO). However, as all HPOs are also in-demand occupations, such occupations may be eligible for incumbent worker training.
For more information on Incumbent Worker Training, please contact your Local Workforce Development Board.
