In Eagle, we are dedicated to the support and enhancement of workforce development both at a local level and regionally. Part of this support is providing you with resources to obtain educational opportunities or to help your employees with skill building. The metro has several colleges and universities that provide workforce development and professional-technical education. The College of Western Idaho will work with companies to provide customized training on a curriculum that fits your needs.
Eligible employers can be reimbursed for a portion of their training costs for hiring and training an eligible worker - often someone new to the labor force or upgrading skills after a layoff - for a full-time, non-seasonal job at minimum wage.

This credit can reduce your federal tax liability per eligible worker if your business qualifies. The program encourages employers to hire from targeted groups of disadvantaged job seekers.

Sponsoring apprenticeships helps close skill gaps in many industries and is an investment in the future.
If your company is expanding, bringing new jobs to Idaho, or re-training existing employees at risk of permanent layoff, Idaho Workforce Development Training Funds may be available to help pay training costs.
