Workforce 20/20 & New Jobs Training

North Dakota offers the advantage of a one-stop administrator of all state and federal workforce training programs and financial assistance through Job Service North Dakota.

Job Service can provide a customized proposal outlining the state and federal programs and dollar amounts available for any project based on the number and title of occupations and their corresponding wage rate.

North Dakota offers two-unique programs that contribute to job training proposals:

  • Workforce 20/20 assists North Dakota employers with implementing new technologies and work methods. This fund helps employers provide retraining and upgrading of employee knowledge and skills.
  • New Jobs Training is an innovative program created by Job Service North Dakota to financially assist new or expanding primary sector businesses with filling hourly job positions. The training costs under this program are paid for in whole or in part with income tax withheld from new employees.

Funded projects must emphasize job and basic skills training. Funds are available regardless of the company's size. The direct cost of employee training can be reimbursed under the Workforce 20/20 program. Costs can include instructor wages, tuition and registration fees, curriculum development and leasing of training equipment.

Job Service also provides assistance to companies with employee recruitment and testing services. In addition, education and training resources offered through the North Dakota University System are considered for job training assistance. This ranges from facility use to company-specific degree programs.
